She was only two months old when her mum died. Meanwhile, she was discovered by the rail tracks with severed limbs and fighting for dear life.
Good Samaritans took her to an orphanage in the slums of Calcutta where they plastered her gory wounds with bandages. She was in really bad shape but God had plans for her.
Shanthi said: “An LDS family from Alaska adopted me. I grew up with eight siblings, six of whom were also adopted."
As she grew up, she learned to do things with her feet, including eating, driving, and even when using computers.
“My sister tells me I used to fall down many times as I struggled to balance myself on one leg,” she narrates on Being You Facebook Page.

She said: “We have been married for nearly nine years and are blessed with four cute babies. He is my prince charming.”
