Wheelchair and disease is no barrier to love; Subilal weds Shanthini like it was destined by god

KOLLAM: The bone-crushing disease weakened his body, but Subilal did not give up. Subi grew up with colourful dreams. Now Subilal is happy that the dreams he saw while sitting in a wheelchair have blossomed. While Subilal was tying a thali around Shantini's neck while sitting in a wheelchair, another good love story was born.

39-year-old Subilal is the younger of the two children of B Vasudevan and Suprabha, a native of Thazhava, Karunagappally. He was born with a bone-crushing disease. His mind was as not cooperating as his body. Yet he completed his tenth grade from Thodiyur Government Higher Secondary School and his plus two from Thazhava Government Higher Secondary School. His sister Sumi was always his shadow. After completing his studies, he started a lottery business. He also ran a mobile phone shop once. Now he is a temporary data entry operator at the Thazhava Family Health Center.

The wedding story

Subilal's family had built a house with the money allocated by the panchayat. Friends who came to the housewarming took a video of Subilal and posted it on social media. It went viral. Many people came to befriend him. Among them, Jiji, a teacher, became his close friend. Jiji started searching for a potential bride for her friend. She told her friend Shanthini also about this. 'If you hold close as a companion, you will be filled with shade' - Jiji sent these words designed by Subilal on the computer to Shanthini. Shanthini was happy. Shanthini (33) is the daughter of the late Gopalan, a native of Thevalakkara Kovoor. The wedding took place at the Oachira Parabrahma Temple.
