Abandoned by their parents and shunned by their village, life for conjoined twins Stuti and Aradhana looked almost certainly bleak. Their mother and father were poor farmers from a remote village. They decided the babies were best left with the staff of the hospital, who took them under their wing and mounted an nationwide fundraising campaign for surgery."They really didn't have a life if they continued to be conjoined," says Professor David Baines. Also calling in favours from colleagues around the world, the anaesthetist forms part of an operating team made up of 24 doctors and 40 nurses determined to save the girls. As the operation gets underway the media swamp medical staff: the twins' story has captivated a nation of more than a billion people and put the spotlight on the way India treats baby girls, especially those with deformities. "In some parts of India families find any girls to be a burden. They're not really looked upon as something that they want". With intimate, candid access to the marathon effort to separate Stuti and Aradhana, this is a breath-taking and emotional story of a battle for resources and acceptance.

I remember it very clearly I was quite small at that time every morning I used to read the newspaper just to know how their condition was and my heart broke when one of them lost her life. May your soul rest in peace🙏🏻 I hope you come back to life and live a normal life this time❤
So very sad.
Rest in Peace little girl.
Why are so many people allowed to be around those babies fresh out of the OR? Do they care about infection control? And I'm (not) sorry but their parents seem like opportunists. I realize they're poor but love doesn't cost a thing. Their medical treatment would've been covered regardless because of the uniqueness of their situation. I think the local doctors put their egos before those babies or else they would've been cared for in a more sanitary, top tier hospital. Post-op care is very important and if the staff (nurses, techs, radiologists, local docs, etc.) isn't used to caring for critically ill babies, especially recently separated conjoined twins, they shouldn't have been allowed to be treated there. Seems like they wanted fame for their village and hospital instead of what was best for those babies. I'm curious as to how the surviving twin is doing today and if her parents are treating her well since
a). She's a girl
b). She's no longer a source of revenue
Why were they exposed to so many people? Good way to get an infection. Very unclean environment.
So sad. India and China r horrible in the cruelty to girl babies. So sorry for them all.
God bless these doctors and the local hospital workers who love these children.
Sad that only one made it after surgery.
That place was dirty!! And the unnecessary people in the OR is something that would not fly in developed nations. The operation should have happened in AU.
if the babies were taken back to Australia and operated on they both would of survive. I'm hurt and saddened deeply with all the money that was raised it did not happen. just imagine you are having surgery and a fly in on the wall full of bacteria and sickness.
Myrtle Syd india is dirty naturally,i school there,its by the grace of god i take care of myself
Yes you are right! Atleast carrying them to AIIMS or to some good super specality hospital could have been a lot better! India has very good hospitals but this was definitely not the right place
I’m confused I just watch this and you said that both babies died one survived so you’re a fucking liar
@@peculiarjohnson5697 come and seen again India change your mindset before we Indians change the world you all seen the bad side of India that's why you are thinking like this
All those beautiful little girls. Its so wrong how they are treated. I wish there was some thing i could do to help them. As for the mother. She should be ashamed of herself.
Why should the mother be ashamed. She is grieving for her one child
And the dad and the doctors and the media and the elits.
If they had accepted ppl whith difficults more children had lived.
Only when they have to sepperet them for to both live or if they can garanti both are going to be good they shud do it.
I dont like the fact the parents left them but came back when they were going to be separated. Now bringing one back when sll she knew for her first yr was the hospital.
How sweets the twins are ! I m very shocked she lost her twin sister. They are so sweets . How adorable they are !
THEY ARE SO FRIGGIN' ADORABLE!! ❤❤
The conditions are terrible . Omg its so sad. They were so close.
The little heart stopped 😢❤
I think it is appalling the Australian journalist was allowed in the operating room and their parents were kept outside. It seems to me the little girl who died probably had infection that was probably caused by so many people being so close to her. They should have been kept in a sterile environment. Better still they should have been airlifted to Australia and operated on there.
Ann Garnsey The parents should of been in the operating room and not the journelest. And I do agree to many people around them. spreading to much germs.
Ann Garnsey
spoil alert Really
Ann Garnsey dam i was hopeing that both survived you killed that by saying one died
Ann Garnsey .
Ann Garnsey I can see your point but I don't think a mother would really want to see her child under the knife I know I wouldn't.
RIP Aredhana 💖
God 'Bless them both...Amen!❤
why there are lots of people the babies will get infection
The two kids r beautiful
It's actually not that uncommon for a mother to struggle to bond with her children at first, especially with an unexpectedly traumatic birth and condition like this. A form of postnatal depression and also shock. Not necessarily two-faced gold-digging. She was probably also scared that she'd get attached to them and they'd die, especially if they died because she couldn't provide specialised care. Perhaps she felt she'd never forgive herself if that happened, so that's why she came back when she knew there was a chance that she wouldn't be put in that position. You just never can tell for sure. xox
catherinespark agree
Why do people struggle to accept that some people just don’t like their children at all? It isn’t always postnatal depression. And the fact most of these cases involve disabled children is telling. Seems like ableism more than anything. People have to stop getting pregnant and automatically assuming they’ll give birth to a healthy child. Sorry but as a disabled person myself my empathy is extremely low here.
Oh god I wish I could adopt few of these kids.
A remote Indian Village ??? Come on..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who in his right mind would do a so intense risque operation in a remote Indian village..
Bad decision!!!
they could have been happy just as they were but its impossible to be judgmental in such circumstances. Just wonder what the quality of life for the survivor is .
Ahh just came here after watching doc. about conjoint twins from Iran and now this. so shocking and disheartening.
The meaning of Aaradhana is to worship and the meaning of stuti is to praise. what are the odds.
I can't stand it. Truly makes my heart hurt.

It's sad but at least one girl will have a chance at life. Imagine having to live out life as a conjoined twin. You would probably never have a chance to fall love or anything had they'd done nothing.
The doctors worked hard to separate the children, in hopes they would survive, unfortunately one little girl passed. Sometimes you cannot help no matter how you try and I believe they would not want to have grown up living conjoined.
We have to believe god had a reason.
Of course it's too many bacteria in the Hospital.
im so happy for them lil angels
one died
Guess you didn't watch the whole thing
Hospital uncleanness
Tears of joy and sorrow..........😶😶😶
Its sad when the doctors do so much planning and practicing and everyone in OR know their part. Everything goes well then one dies
I definitely think they should of been operated on in more sanitary conditions
They did the best they could in that location.
God bless those doctor
Tq to the doctors . You all so great doctors... may god bless the child .. so sad 1of the baby passed away .. both are so beautiful babies
It's so sad. I was hoping they both made it through.
God bless you both
Thank you
The so called mother of the twins in a pos. I don’t care what the circumstances are - you don’t leave your babies. Funny how she wanted them back when they became little celebrities. 😡
I'd be wary of the doctor that said " they belong to us" ? they both would have survived at a better facility. they just wanted the media glory.
more than likely the father was in charge of leaving them. they thought they would get care. so sorry one died, so the other could live . their lives would have been miserable if no one tried. don't judge any thing about this
Dr tried.
Being dirt poor living on a farm of course she wanted then back as soon as they started getting attention for the financial gain selfish and wrong because she’s so quick to leave them at the hospital and not visit them only until there was some form of financial and intention gain selfish but from that part of the world I guess I’m not really that surprised
Как не умереть,при такой антисанитарии. Куча народа дети после операции жуть.
I don’t know if it was all the people that cause the death as in the bacteria. Sometimes they’re just too weak to fight the surgeries. One had have a liver and missing three main draining blood veins. And they’re in a country where they probably don’t get the best medical treatment so maybe her immune system’s were naturally low to fight off such a strong bacterial infection.Shame on the doctor though and doctors and nurses to have so many people in these rooms they should be quarantined and it should be a sanitary as possible. I truly think that these doctors need to have a suspension and a cut in their pay. I think this little girl life would’ve been saved if not so many people were in there guarantee none of them wash their hands none of them were sanitize before they went into these rooms. .Rest in peace little one I don’t understand why everybody saying they both died obviously the other one is still alive.
But ....baby is so so cute
so lovely
thanks dokta
A fly in the operating room?????? This is unacceptable.
she only wanted those kids when she saw the attention they were getting

Carmen Lantagne
Carmen Lantagne I as much as I hate to say it, I have to agree with you. It's so cynical to think that I know but why would you leave it so long to come back. They are so beautiful, I would love to see them. Unfortunately it's not good to be born a girl in India. Why on earth girls are looked down upon is a mystery to me, because none of us would be here without a mother
Carmen Lantagne she probably thought they were the antichrist
I understand. I am wondering if they felt so overwhelmed at the implications of the girls not having what hey need that it was overwhelming and she couldn't do it after being ill. And they are poor.
É uma dor quando perdemos um filho 😢
OH, NOOOO!!!! WHY?!!!! 😢💔
I know.. sad.
Fly in the Hospital WTF?? Ewwweeew
please she never want those babies in the first place so why not stay away and outside. wicked woman how can you turn your back on your kids just because they were different
carneila Thomas DC two country Pakistan and India they call it shame to have a disable child they don't call it as
carneila Thomas and the father it's not de😗 cz he fill as an imbarasment
carneila Thomas I bet she wanted them desperately but he didn't.
carneila Thomas
social stigma can be brutal. While I agree she's not the best, but frankly her behavior is understandable
What is the cause of this happening so often?
I'm just wondering why the mother wants them now when she didn't want them at birth.
Самая грязная страна, чаще всех там рождаются детки с мутациями
Brilliant news that one made it
Heartbreaking!!!!!
These babies should have been taken abroad. Everyone knows about the hygiene of Indians doctors and nurses included. All hard work just gone because of not proper care. It has to be infection and poor care in such a dirty hospital. The Australian doctors shouldn't hve agreed to operate in India. They should have taken them to aboroad
Q pena me dió . Bueno así lo quiso Dios.Ester de Chile.
1babe....ooonooooo....😔😔😔😔😔😔😔🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇
thats terrible the parents shod of been rite there wen they came out wat is wrong with this picture
Delores Nolasco
the parents abandoned them and only came back when there was media attention
imagine from birth until 11 months old you just returned to see them.... ? next you are then saying you missed them... woman you need help.... you are wicked... was she listening to herself OH THEY SOON HAVE A NORMAL LIFE WHAT ABOUT THEN ? THEY ARE YOURS NOW.... DON'T YOU THINK THEY DID NEED YOU THEN... AWFUL WOMAN.
carneila Thomas
I don’t think that it was like that. These people are poor, very poor. They also are very superstitious. See, the village that is their home can see this as a bad omen and chase them out. Off course the fact that it were girls didn’t help as girls are seen as a burden. The mother also had to obey her husband... I think she is very courageous to reclaim the children. She doesn’t know what the future will bring ... These people look different at things as we do. That doesn’t mean that they don’t care. It’s just difficult to have children in need of special care id there is no money. Most of the children in rural communities in India are malnourished. This would probably be fatal for the twins.
carneila Thomas She should have been told to fuck off.
Lilith Eden You are very obviously of the same caste.
Saffron Grass no my dear, I can understand that you don’t approve of their behaviour. It is indeed an horrible thing to do, In different parts of the world people have different ways to deal with their problems. In the West we can give a disabled child all the care it needs. In underdeveloped counties however the people have no means to do that, even if they want to. Giving their, (disabled or healthy) child to a clinic or an orphanage is a devastating choice some parents have to make in order to be sure that the child will live. I know that it seems barbaric or uncaring but most of the time they really have no other option. It’s the overwhelming poverty and the non existence of education that are the underlying reasons for this problem.
how come they look like that separate them
at least one has survived the family has only to pay one dowry to the greedy India men
Conversion mafia doing there job as they are trained
amazing
am. so. sad. about the mother **(
We're they able to share the liver between the two girls? I remember them saying there's only one liver so I'm not sure what was the final decision
Racquel, I think livers can regrow a bit if parts are cut off
Oh, thank you Tanya, I didn't know that.
Racquel H She said they were halving the liver!
Awwwweee so sad.
Nice song.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
what the he'll did I just saw a fly
Inkei!
И снова Индия...
😓😓😓
سبحان الله العظيم
if they leave the twins to be core join what happens when y
they are old and one dies?
I personally think they should of kept the twins in same cot after the separation so to have them stressed less as subconsciously even if not awake, they would of been aware the other isnt next to them .. and its terrible they got all the Aussie doctors away from their normal work to do it over there rather then in Australia. Maybe would of survived in not done there but egos obviously wanted it done over there.
Two teams of doctors were needed for each baby. Surgery was not “over” at the moment of separation. Much repair to do.
ooh GOD but why she died
Uma das crianças, morreu? ???
Omg
А второй ребенок что не выжил? Я не поняла.
Я думаю, что не выжил. Изображение показывают не в цвете.
Oh no...poor sweetheart...they should of kept them together.
Squirrels
Y la otra?
so sad
Why crowds are happy much before finished the operation ?! Stupid crowds .
Elyanika Hasan they are creating a positive atmosphere. positive mind= positive life
they are just joined by bellies. That's almost cosmetic surgery. I'm exaggerating but almost. how can you even compare twins sharing one body and 2 heads? Or joined by heads with sharing some parts of brain?
guanbi
They shared more than that, and one had no liver. That is NOT COSMETIC.
OK I lost faith in the surgical team when they did the practice surgery on dolls taped together! Was the fucking reporter actually in the operating room casually talking to the surgeons while they worked on the girl's hearts? That is just disgusting to me!
sonros ney chivet
That's why they were okay when they was done together why would you separate them I feel like that's just pure stupidity and that's something another way for the doctors to create money on they were born together why separate them now one is dead that's just stupid
nice song haleluiya
Amar Asha .
The birth mother came back when she found out they could be separated so she could
sell them into marriage Ugh
😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
where else
sad
I AM HAPPY THAT ONE CHILD SURVIVED, BUT BOTH GIRL'S WOULD HAVE SURVIVED HAD THE SURGERY BEEN DONE IN AUSTRALIA OR ANOTHER FIRST RATE TOP NOTCH MODERNIZED HOSPITAL THAT WAS CLEAN WITH FIRST RATE DOCTORS AND NURSING STAFF SUCH AS THE UNITED STATES,BOTH GIRL'S WOULD HAVE SURVIVED. EVERY BODY WANTED TO BE FAMOUS AND GET CREDIT FOR THE SEPERATION. THEY PUT THE CHILDREN'S SAFETY AND SURVIVAL ON THE BACK BURNER. THAT HOSPITAL WAS TENTH RATE OLD AND FILTHY.
😆😅😄😃😃😂😀
So they only separated them so they could live a "normal life" and that caused one of them to die. If I had conjoined twins I would only separate them if their life depended on (i mean that if they didn't get separated they would die)
