TB survivor Nandita Venkatasen had to answer to stereotypical questions as she was questioned about her marriage, her career but she did not give up. She proved to the society that deafness is not a weakness as she is a living inspiration to women because she helped them laugh, live and enjoy their lives despite their disability. 


Here is her life story

Nandita Venkatasen was diagnosed with TB when she was only 17-years-old and then again when she was 23-years-old. On November 22, 2013, two days after celebrating her 24th birthday, she lost 90 per cent of her hearing ability.

Optimistic about life, Nandita tells people — who suffer from TB — that in any given circumstances, one should not lose their confidence. There are many out there in the society, who will not let others succeed, but people should trust their own abilities.
