Education of Sudha Chandran

Strange Turn of Life
Chandran was at the peak of her life as she was doing hundreds of stage shows and performed at several events when the change of tide happened in her life. It was the year of 1981, month June; she met with an accident while traveling from Trichy by bus. She was comparatively less injured with few cuts and bruises.
But due to the huge number of patients, her wound in the right ankle was wrapped without any kind of treatment and dressing. This caused gangrene in her foot and to avoid it to spread it in all over the body, the doctors decided to amputate her right foot.
It was like the end of her dream of dancing as she used to love dancing more than her life. But like a real fighter, she didn’t lose hope. After three years of treatment, Chandran was back on stage dancing with the help of prosthetic Jaipur Foot. She became a star and one of the best Bharatanatyam dancers of all time.
