biggest hands, has finally underwent a life-saving operation The boy experiences lots of difficulties – he was not
admitted to school due to his scary appearance, he can’t dress himself, eat and
take a bath unaided. Besides physical problems Kaleem and his parents also face
bullying from their superstitious neighbours.
Hhis upper limbs weighed more then 12 kilograms and kept
growing. The locals believe that Kaleem is a ‘devil’s child’ and his giant
hands is actually the result of a curse. “There is no treatment for this boy.
He is a devil’s child. This is just because his parents must have committed a
wrong deed at some point in their life,” one of the villagers said.

After several international newspapers published the boy’s
story, a team of medical experts agreed to provide help and perform an urgent
surgery. The medics eventually performed a series of complicated operations to
reduce the growth of his forearm, hand and fingers, so Kaleem can use them.
After the operation Kaleem’s father Shamim said:
“We knew that there is no such thing as a devil’s child. The villagers love to gossip and that is what they are doing about our son. Ultimately, he is our son and we have to take care of him.”
