Jaswant Singh, a photographer from Punjab is doing fine with five kidneys inside his body following donations of three organs from his mother and his sisters.
Singh, who is 33, required a kidney transplant after his organs suddenly failed in 2002. Initially his older sister Harjindar Kaur donated a kidney, which lasted for one year. "However, my body rejected the kidney once I stopped post-operation medication because of financial constraints," he told The Telegraph newspaper.

"The new kidney is functioning properly so for," said Mr Singh. "But presently I am on heavy medication. It will become more clear after I cut down my medication in six months. It is very difficult to explain how much I have suffered. Sometimes I could not work for months at a time. I couldn't go far from my home or eat outside."
Doctors from the National Kidney Hospital performed this transplant for free after seeing how much his family has suffered financially.
