Deepa's life took an unexpected turn in the year 1999. She was diagnosed with a spinal tumor. Even after undergoing three surgeries that resulted in almost 200 stitches, she was still left paralyzed below the waist. Since then Deepa is bound to a wheelchair, but the disability couldn't cage her free spirit.
Deepa Malik is the first Indian woman to win a medal at the Paralympics. She won the silver medal in the shot put in 2016 Paralympic Games. She was previously honored with the Arjuna award in 2012, at the age of 42 years. She has also been conferred the prestigious Padma Shri award in 2017.
Hope it helps ☺️
