A Class XI student, Shinjini suffered partial paralysis following alleged public humiliation by judges at a reality dance show on May 19 aired on a Bengali private television channel and has lost her speech and movement of her limbs.

Till a month ago, however, she had been participating in teleserial shoots and even appeared in a Bengali film.

Eventhough her parents have blamed the judges for Shinjini's illness, doctors have diagnosed her condition as myeloencephalitis, an inflammation of both the spinal cord and the brain.
