12 year old Shivram and Shivanath Sahu, were born conjoined at the stomach, and now that they have been given the opportunity to live separate lives, the brothers have declined!
The 12 year old conjoined twins are attached to each other at the waist and they share two legs, as well as four arms.
“We don’t wish to get separated,” Shivram told Barcroft TV. “We will stay like this even when we grow old. We want to live as we are.”
The twins refusal comes after a long time of learning how to adapt to life, being conjoined to another. His brother Shivanath stated;
“We have taught ourselves everything. We ride to school on a bicycle and playing cricket is no problem,”
Their father, 45 year old Raj Kumar, admits that times do get tough for the boys, such as the way they are able to transport themselves, when it rains.
“During rainy season it becomes difficult for them to walk and when one wants to sit, the other has to lie down. But they don’t fight. They have similar opinions and if one says he wants to play, the other one agrees,” Kumar said, according to the Mirror. “God has created them like this so they have to walk like they do. They will remain like this. I don’t want anything else.”
