Deepa Malik Struggle
In 1999, Deepa Malik suffered from a very dangerous disease called spinal tumor and it made her paralyzed from her waist down. 
Her body became paralyzed and numb from her waist down and now she is paralyzed from 20 years but being paralyzed can’t break her strength and she doesn’t take it as her weakness. She just accepted it as a natural thing and because of this disease, she also suffered from 3 surgeries and 183 stitches.

During her surgeries, her husband was also fighting with Pakistan in Kargil War for his country. This couple has already named their life for the country. 

Deepa Malik never loses her passion in any tough situation. She lived her life very calmly as she never feels her disabilities and always fights back with her situations. Being so much calm and not losing her passion is not an easy task.

Because of her disease she was bound to a wheelchair and she played all her games from that wheelchair only, she never complains of her weakness or her physical disabilities and neither she demands any special treatment.
