The two brothers shocked doctors when they demonstrated their ability to wash, dress and feed themselves. They even go down the stairs by themselves, run on all six limbs to play with the neighborhood children.

Shivanath, looking weaker than the rest, said: “We were taught to do everything ourselves. We cycled to school and played carefree cricket.”
Not only that, Shivanath and Shivram were also very good at math and became the best students in school.

“Many people feel excited when they see my children, but only I understand what problems they face. During the rainy season, traveling is very difficult. When one child wants to sit, the other had to lie down again, but they never fought. They had the same opinion, when one wanted to play, the other would agree,” said Raj Kumar, Shivanath and Shivram’s father.
According to a local doctor, the twins are healthy but cannot be separated. They share the same abdomen but have separate lungs, heart and brain.

Shivanath and Shivram say that the two cousins will never be separated from each other. “We don’t want to be separated. We will live like that until we grow up. We want to live like now,” Shivram once told Barcroft India.
