Thirteen-year-old conjoined twins Saba and Farah have stopped eating so that their wish to tie rakhi on Bollywood actor Salman Khan's wrist is fulfilled.
Salman Khan is the favourite hero of Saba and Farah, who had met him once in Mumbai three years ago on his invitation.
"We love Salman like a brother. We sleep and breathe with Salman's image in our minds. He is in our soul. We have decided to tie rakhi to Salman this year. We are without food and water," said Saba and Farah with smiles on their faces.
The poor parents of Saba and Farah are finding it difficult to fulfil their wish. But the Siamese twins, who are identical twins with bodies joined together, told them that they would not touch food until they meet Salman Khan to celebrate this year's festival of `Raksha Bandhan'.
“We are poor people. How can I approach Salman Khan, who is a big star, to request him to share a few moments with my daughters,” asked Shakeel Ahmad, father of Saba and Farah.
“Saba and Farah are restless to meet Salman. They hardly miss 'Dus Ka Dum' which is hosted by Salman and want to participate in the programme. But they have no knowledge that it is not easy at all,” said the twin's elder brother.
"The girls are eagerly looking forward to welcome Salman Khan at their residence here. They strongly feel that Salman Khan will visit them one day,” said Rubina Khatoon, their mother.
Khatoon said that Saba and Farah are not keeping well "as they have stopped taking food and told us that they will not touch food until they meet Salman".
Saba and Farah, who are joined at the head and neck, have spent their lives side by side, but have never been able to look each other directly in the eye.
Ahmad recalled that a few years ago, there was a ray of hope for his daughters when Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, then crown prince of Abu Dhabi, decided to help the twins after seeing their photograph in an Indian newspaper. He announced he would bear the entire medical expenses of the operation to separate the conjoined twins.
