A woman in India keeps getting smaller ans smaller by the day as she gets old.Her bizarre condition has turned Shanti an attraction in her village with people travelling to take a glimpse of her
the 60-YEAR-old woman has shrunk to the size of a toddler after being affected by an extremely painful and rare medical condition. she is just two-feet tall
Shanti Devi, from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India, looks like a small
baby and spends her days lying in a cot mumbling or singing alone.
The mum and grandmother, who once stood five-feet tall, is now
just two-feet tall and claims she's been like this for more than two
decades.
Her small and twisted limbs have become so rigid that any movement is impossible for her.
She cannot open her hands, stretch her legs or even tilt her head and entirely relies on her children for assistance.
She said: "I have been living like this for nearly 25 years now. This is painful. I get bored but I can't do anything on my own.
"I miss sitting and waking and meeting my friends or watering plants."
Her concerned husband Gangacharan Kushwaha, 62, said: "She was perfectly healthy and leading a normal life when we got married thirty five years ago.
"Problems only started after the delivery of our third child, a son. She had become weak and very slow.
"After three months, she complained of severe pain in her bones that had become stiff.
"After a couple of months, she noticed changes in her body as she was looking smaller.
"She told us but we did not believe her until we realised she had shortened by half feet in just four months."
