Indian Girl Loses Speech After Snub in TV Contest
The 16-yr-old girl cannot speak or move, after a public drubbing she received in a dance competition in a TV reality show.
She has since been shifted to Bangalore in southern India for treatment in the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS).
After the May 19 public chiding, she became depressed and forgot her dialogues in her regular TV serial. She soon lost her speech and finally, could not move her limbs. She was flown to Bangalore Friday evening.
Shinjini Sengupta is a class XI student of a reputed school in Calcutta, capital of West Bengal.
She was in class VII when she won a prize for dance in school. The dancing bug remained with her since then. Around two years ago she started performing at dance shows and in TV dance competitions.
Her first film ‘Bar Asbe Ekhuni’ is scheduled for release next August.
Only when she seemed to have forgotten her dialogue during the shoot of a TV serial, a few days after the reality show debacle, did her parents realize that something was wrong with her.
“The director and actors were a bit surprised since she hadn’t behaved like that before. We thought she was playing funny, just out of pique….that didn’t seem to be the case we realized later,” said her mother Sibani.
The girl managed the shoot that day all right, but that was the last time that she appeared before the camera. Shinjini even refused to watch episodes of the dance contest where she had appeared.

Sad story. In the storm of life we struggle through myriads of stimuli of pressure, stress, and muti-problems that seek for a solution and answer. We are so suppressed by the routine of this every life style that most of us seem helpless. Ok
