Director Siruthi Siva's younger brother Bala fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. The doctors told him that he had liver damage and needed a liver transplant immediately. Bala's health condition worsened after he was admitted to a private hospital in Kochi, Kerala. The doctor said that it is difficult for him to survive. After that Bala miraculously recovered to the amazement of the doctor.

Miracles Do Happen

Talking about what happened to him, Bala said, "It's a miracle that I survived. The doctor said it was all over. As far as doctors are concerned, my chapter was over. My family was in a position to decide what to do. Let him die in peace said the doctor. A miracle happened in the next 6 hours. After that they decided to do the surgery", he said.

Bala added, "It was Jacob Joseph who donated his liver to me. I have to talk about him. The doctor told Jacob that if you donate a liver, you will also have a problem. The doctor also warned him that there will be trouble if anything happens in between. He also told the doctor that I am taking this risk for Bala.

Jacob Joseph And His Family Took Risk For Bala

Not only Jacob but his entire family was willing to take a risk for me. Jacob and his family have said that there is no change in the decision to donate the liver. They have seen the alms and dharma that I do. I never dreamed that he would donate. I came to know all this after the surgery.

I have started going to the gym as my health has improved. Everyone is asking 'the surgery is just happened and you are going to gym?' When I went to the doctor he asked the same thing. 'It's only been 40 days and usually takes six months to completely heal. What are you eating?' the doctor asked.

The doctor also said 'You are a miracle for the medical world Bala'. I will not say that I have no enemies. Some have given me trouble. When I was in the hospital someone wrote a letter like mine and went to my house and tried to steal my jewelry. The person did that thinking that I will not come back."
