“Very few disabled get ahead in life,” she said in an interview with Everyday Ability after appearing on India’s Got Talent. “I have seen many disabled people begging on the roads. I would like to convey this message that please don’t beg. You can earn and lead a life of dignity based on your determination, skill, talent and hard work.”
“So many skilled artists from like Vinod, Kamlesh Patel and Sudha Chandran are making it big as wheelchair artists” she continued. “I have also done awareness rides on a scooter to make India accessible, one of which I remember especially was from Delhi to Mussoorie. While other girls were a little shaky, I was the only girl from Gujarat who never lost courage and breezed through the whole journey with confidence.”
Vinod also continues to post dance videos on Instagram. “India’s Got Talent was the best thing that ever happened to me,” he said in an interview. “It transformed my life. Before I went on the show, I was a nobody and suddenly I was a celebrity. I not only began to earn a lot of money, but a lot of respect and recognition as well.”
He is also always hitting the gym and showing everyone that his disability is not going to stop him from doing whatever he puts his mind to.
