Chahat's father, Suraj, shared, "When Chahat was born, she was completely normal. Then, slowly, we saw that her weight was shooting up. Her weight is increasing day by day." Despite their efforts to address her extreme weight gain, the family is grappling with the challenges posed by Chahat's abnormally hard skin, making it difficult for doctors to analyze her condition through blood samples.
Reena expressed her concerns, stating, "Before Chahat, we had a son who died, and then Chahat was born. I am concerned about her health." The worried mother estimates that Chahat consumes four times the amount of food a normal child her age would. She added, "She doesn't eat like a normal kid. She keeps eating all the time. If we don't give her anything to eat, she starts crying."
Chahat's parents deny that her weight issues are related to her upbringing, with Suraj emphasizing, "It's not our fault. God gave this condition to her. It's not in our hands. I feel bad when some people laugh at her for being fat." Unfortunately, the family faces financial constraints, hindering their ability to seek advanced medical treatment beyond their local doctor in Punjab.
Dr. Sharma recommended a visit to a Pediatric specialist at the Civil Hospital in Amritsar, but financial limitations have made this option unattainable for the family. The doctor stressed the need to address Chahat's excessive weight, stating, "Her weight is increasing excessively, and it has to be controlled. She has to eat less. She eats like a 10-year-old kid."
As the family continues their search for answers, Reena dreams of a brighter, lighter future for her daughter. She said, "We want Chahat to be able to play like normal kids. We don't want her to have difficulties in the future. We want a good future for her."
