Baby with 2 faces born in north India
Doctors say infant with rare condition is doing well
A baby with two faces was born in a northern Indian village, where she is doing well and is being worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, her father said Tuesday.
The baby, Lali, apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication, where a single head has two faces. Except for her ears, all of Lali's facial features are duplicated — she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes.
"My daughter is fine — like any other child," said Vinod Singh, 23, a poor farm worker.
Lali has caused a sensation in the dusty village of Saini Sunpura, 25 miles east of New Delhi. When she left the hospital, eight hours after a normal delivery on March 11, she was swarmed by villagers, said Sabir Ali, the director of Saifi Hospital.
"She drinks milk from her two mouths and opens and shuts all the four eyes at one time," Ali said.
Rural India is deeply superstitious and the little girl is being hailed as a return of the Hindu goddess of valor, Durga, a fiery deity traditionally depicted with three eyes and many arms.
'Leading a normal life'
Up to 100 people have been visiting Lali at her home every day to touch her feet out of respect, offer money and receive blessings, Singh told The Associated Press.
"Lali is God's gift to us," said Jaipal Singh, a member of the local village council. "She has brought fame to our village."
Village chief Daulat Ram said he planned to build a temple to Durga in the village.
"I am writing to the state government to provide money to build the temple and help the parents look after their daughter," Ram said.
Lali's condition is often linked to serious health complications, but the doctor said she was doing well.
"She is leading a normal life with no breathing difficulties," said Ali, adding that he saw no need for surgery.
Lali's parents were married in February 2007. Lali is their first child.
Singh said he took his daughter to a hospital in New Delhi where doctors suggested a CT scan to determine whether her internal organs were normal, but Singh said he felt it was unnecessary.
"I don't feel the need of that at this stage as my daughter is behaving like a normal child, posing no problems," he said.
wow, thats unbelievable. its good to see that people actually appreciate this. amazing.

Re: Pity Us India – omg so true these bigot americans think they know every damn thing in the whole world its just funny to me that america is basically in a state of recession and that the whole world hates them and their dumbass president. they can't even go outside of the nation without fear of being kidnapped or killed. everyone hates americans yet they go on with their fat asses thinking they rule everything continue to make fun of this girl americans while your fat children get diabetes. filty americans!

I blame this all on sonic the hedgehog !
"It is the result of a protein called Sonic hedgehog homolog (SHH). Among other things, this governs the width of facial features."

I thought this dude was with Anna Kornikova. I think he's cheating, I'd like to make a move now.
that baby is so tiny! look at her little feet.. i think it so weird how different people think and handle things in different parts of the world… we recognize this, as americans, as a genetic mutation, and the people of their village are about to build this baby a freakin temple… crazy

Re: British People do it better. Americans suck!!! – I'm so sick of fucking attitudes like this..Next time some poor broke ass country is full of starving people, don't bitch and moan that we don't do enough. Next time some terrorists bomb your subways, DON'T BITCH AND MOAN. Take care of it yourselves. Nasty ass British people have some fucked up teeth anyway. Americans may be fat (as you dumb ass british like to say) but at least we know how to go to a dentist.

Re: Southerner – Southerners don't vote for Bush he's a dumb ass
Re: Indygirl – Or what have you…relatives marrying,,,don't u see the resemblance in husband and wife? They are at least 1st cousins if not closer…maybe even by marriage.
Re: ayesha – Sorry Ayesha but i know personally of Indian cousins who have married…don't go stereotyping yourself
Re: Wow – I also visit many news websites b4 stopping by perez on the way to bed. Please don't generalize of segregate perez readers "But hey what can I expect from people on perezhilton.com you all obviously don't care about the news". Sorry to disappoint but i know indian people personally who have married their cousins. I don't know of anyone from my southern county personally who have married their cousin. There are many branches to every religion all over the world and you and I cannot generalize any of them.
Re: Winette –
With a name like Winette sounds like you shouldn't be talking about cousins marrying cousins…. That's got to be one of the most inbred, redneck names I've ever heard of. What part of the South are you from, bitch?
Re: Che – I'm sorry but not all people of Indian descent are perfect. I know many Indian people in the US who are as or more judgemental than any US born citizens. I was a part of an extended Indian family that stretches from Canada to Miami for a long period of time and they are more racist than people from the hollers of Kentucky and Tennessee. They came to our country to reap the benefits of our democracy and put us down in their language in front of us while they put our money into their cash registers. I know several couples in this clan who are married and are cousins, thank god all but one of their born children are normal. One cousin couple "lost" their baby because of problems early in the pregnancy. whether Indian, American, French, British, German, Austrian, Chinese, Taiwanese or any other nationality there will always be prejudice and ignorance.
omg i totally agree the dad is realllllllllllllly cute!!!
LMAO, half the people posting in here are completely mind-blowingly stupid. Back and forth with the "Indians marry their cousins" and "fuck Americans" like a retarded tennis match. NEWSFLASH: People post ignorants things here just to sit back and laugh at the reactions they get. For their simple minds, it's entertaining. What's worse than that is reading the horrific things that some of you are posting in reply to these idiots. Why go along, lower yourself, and post something equally as rude and disgusting? Just IGNORE THEM. Post something relevent, don't appease the assholes, and move on.
whOa.
i wOnda why stuff like this happens onlyy in africa and india…POOR.
remember the kid with 2 headds ?? urghh. grosteque.
Indians do not marry their cousins..an u dont get double faced kids by living in insanitary conditions….god ..of all these ppl i thought u americans would kno better
Re: mjcp – That was a creative reply mjcp! Poor baby though.
Wait till she's a teenager and gets mouthy to her parents! It's gonna come from both sides. ARGH!
#79 - buddah lover says – reply to this
does anyone realize that the indians are having these strange birth defects maybe because it is so close to where we , and other countries test our nucleurs?
this is not only seriously wrong, but imagine these indians thinking that their newborns are gods and goddeses because it goes well with their beliefs, but its really its just radioactive stuff poisoning them!!!!!!!!
food for thought, if any one still thinks anymore>>>
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I think this may very well be the case! As in Sellafield, UK, where there s been a drastically increased number of birth defects in children because of the nuclear power plant there!
By the way, the living conditions and environmental damages in very poor countries such as China, India a.s.o. are like they are only because WE, i.e. American and European customers, are not willing to pay anything more than the LOWEST price possible for merchandise and unfortunately most of the Western people don t give a damm HOW these low selling prices are made and what the (health) price is that the people in India a.s.o. PAY!
Where are you Sanjaiya (was it Malakai?).
Don't be so derogatory towards India, just because it is a poor nation does not mean this is a result of exposure to harmful substances. The are over 1 billion people in India, and as an extremely rare genetic mutation it was more likely to happen there before most other countries. Add that to India's massive Hindu following and you've got the current situation. Good luck to them i say!
i just hope that no complications arise from having two sets of everything. wish them the best. the babys cute a bit weird to look at but cute nontheless.
How the hell did this
Turn into a race war
# 1- indians are not
Freaks or anything
Eles but people
# 2- who hasn't
See one person
From one country
Commit insect
# things like
This happen
All the time
Anywhere.
So stop fighting
And blaming races
For things that
Don't come out normal.
The only thing that I'm
Pissed about is that the father
Is not going to take 2 go check
Up on her health, because he
Feels she fine check out her
Organs buddy its still a baby !!!!!!!

Re: that gay man that loves halle – What the hell did Canadians do to you jerk! I am Canadian and I have never said a bad word about your country. I don't belive any country is better than the other….maybe some countries do have some strang religions and belifes but they are all people just like you and me. If you don't like it when people bash your country how do you think we feel when you turn around and do the exact same thing.
I am not going to do that….I am just going to say you are a jerk because I know that not all Americans are assholes like you.
Re: that gay man that loves halle – vote for bush i,m going to
Re: AIM –
Joking…with te American part are you? how about the "uncivilised" part? fucking people from rich countries who don't know how is like to be poor. you clearly don't even know what civilisation means. sch ignorance and u think ur civilised…i pity u.
Re: WHOA –
WHy do't you chang your name to Adolf Hitler! You seem to take the fact that u were born healthy for granted. what is u were born like that, or what if u have babies like her? no one choses to be born they way the are. I wonder why evil and hateful people like u were ever born in the first place…i hope all the worst things in the world happen to you. se how u would like it. Fucking NAZI!
They are probably cousins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
may god bless the child and the family~~~
i read all the comments, and i realised there are heartless people (Americans) that can still make fun of India, theyre beliefs and the poor baby.
in stead of making fun of them, why dont you look at yourself and be grateful of what youve got. not many have the luxury you have…to be born beautiful in a peaceful country.
making fun of them doesnt make you any smarter. it just proves that Americans are uncivilised, worse than Indians…. At least they still have culture and beliefs… not like you bunch…congrats.. you just portrayed your country to be filled with heartless citizens
Why doesn't some oneteach thesae people how to use a condom? They just keep having children they can not afford……
holy shitttttt can both faces talk does she have split personalitys ?
Re: that gay man that loves halle –
We had a female Prime Minister in the UK for 11 years?! And my MP is British African?! Haha! People here seriously need to do some research before opening their mouths…
Hey, my best friend is American, and I love your country, but I have to say there are some scarily ignorant people living there! Muslims don't all hate White people and keep TNT in their closets, and the women can do whatever the hell they like 90% of the time (I live in the UAE and my Muslim friends go on dates, go to the beach, go to the movies, write books, go to school, become doctors, govt. ministers and CEO's…and that's just a few of the women I know…) Sure there are some controlling bastard husbands who beat their wives up (same as in my country and yours), and then they go to jail for a long long time because the law here is very prejudiced IN FAVOUR of women. Just because a Bush-funded news channel tells you 'All Muslims Are Evil!!!!!!', your brains really should be a little more active (what with your clean water and modern education) than to just suck it up.
Also, India has a beautiful heritage and you would all be lucky to visit there.
I LOVE CANADIANS!!
i wanna ask how many of u pple even kno what goes down here in india
i guess the last movie u ol saw bout her was …..i dunno…..James Bond or mayb that episode of heroes….
the point is…..U GOTTA LEARN SOME NU FAKTS BOUT THE WORLD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…… i mean seriously……from the way u talk…..it's like ur livin in the previous century
GO LOOK AT AN ALMANAC OR AN ENCYKLOPEDIA OR WHATEVA!!!!!!
JUST DONT GO SPREADIN THE RONG FAKTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at their faces:
Woman: I knew I shouldn't have had sex with that bastard. Four sheep and five cows my ass. . .
Man: . . . . . .
Hope she stays healthy.
You ignorant losers who are making fun of an innocent child, hope you deal with worse than this when you have kids.
OMG I CANT BELIEVE THAT SHIT THAT IS CRAZY BUT I AM SO GLAD THAT EVERYONE IS HAPPY ABOUT THIS CHILD. IT IS GREAT THAT SHE IS AT A GOOD HOME THAT LOVES HER
Re: alkaline – NAHHHHHHHHH…UNCIVILZED BOIYATCH IS MORE LIKE IT
omg whooaaaa
This is going to sound very harsh and nazi-like of me, but in the old days they would've just taken it to the back yard and drowned it. I'm not saying everyone who's a little different than most of us, should be gotten rid of, just that everyone has a right to live a life that is WORTH living. Will this child ever have a normal life? No, she won't. Not that this condition would stop her from doing normal tasks, but if she's already "worshipped as a goddess" as a little baby, what will her life really turn into? And when the superstitious people notice she doesn't really have the godlike powers they hoped for, what will they do? This will only lead to tragedy… unfortunately.
Her dad i hot…..
woww
so can she talk thru both mouths????
I think it is disgusting. They need to get rid of it. It wont have a normal life- who is gonna fuck that thing?? Oh, besides its own father or uncle. Nasty bitches. Why cant we just get rid of all 3rd world countries? They want to take all our money because they cant make their own or their fucked up government wont give it to them. In the meantime we have people in america who are paying $3.50 + per gallon for gas and can barely pay the bills. Why should we give it to a buncha ugly ass towl heads that treat their women like slaves, spread diseases, and rape young children? I say burn all those bitches. While we're at it, I'd say everyone who has AIDS should be burned alive as well. That is one effective way of stopping the spread of disease. We kill innocent animals all day long for our own selfish purposes and don't think twice about it- WHY NOT KILL ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO ARE FUCKING IT UP FOR THE REST OF US??? Makes sense to me.
god bless that child
god can creat only, this r the life which r still attached to universe,they r not sapereted like us normal human…that is why " god is great "
I need to see a better picture of the baby! Crazyyyyy
Re: INDIANS ARE –
you are one to talk, you are probably obese and pimply… and don't make comments about all indians, there are so many different groups of people who live in that country, go read a book, newspaper, or go back to school you ignorant asshole
The parents are beautiful and the girl is too, regardless of the number of faces she has..
What a freak of natre KILL IT!!!!
Re: Jen –
jen clearly has a typical case of "total psycho"… i prescribe electric shocks to her brain and genitals so that she doesnt get sadistic pleasure out of other people's misery…
Re: Smart Cookie –
Bitch your dad probably pimps you for 3 nickels an hour to the black pimps on your block.. so the only bitch who needs the wage is your dad.
hay pobresito ese bebe
ay no pero bien feo
q es jajajajaja
(que rata soyyy)
bueno saludos desde VENEZUELA
yo se que ustedes no me
entienden jajaja!!!! bueno
beye bye!
Re: WHAT GREAT INSIGHT! SABU! –
Sweetie, your mom probably took it up the ass from her black pimp before she shat you out in the bowl.. which explains your muddy response..
You can't hold a candle to us because
a) we will outsmart you
b) steal your income
c) reduced to selling us clothes at the GAP..
No I don't need your help but feel free to call me Maam!
As for not knowing what a job is I am sure your mom has had her fair share of JOBS that included choking on 12" black dicks and jizz down her throat for 5 nickels an hour.
You heartless bastards who are bashing at this little child should all go to hell. They praise this baby and they should. People in this country need to grow up and see things from a a different perspective. There are so many other things going on in this world and it's a damn shame people don't see how good they have it.
we have a alot a 2-faced people here too..
i think he's an idiot for not having a ct scan… she could need surgery and that decision could just have killed his daughter… i also think that she is clearly more accepted over there than she would be here…. people seem to worship her as god;s gift… show the difference in cultures,, and the problems in ours? xoxox
*why do you care if you're first????
Wow I do wish her and the family well during this time
Not being funny but Americans are sooo ignorant!!!
And why is race being brought up, i bet if they were white race wouldn't have been a problem! It's sad that some people can speak so harshly on something so serious! I'm glad to parents are seeing this in a positive way. I just hope she leads a normal life, and is not the subject of entertainment!
Re: Jen –
You are pathetic!! You sad person!! There is no need to prejusge others!! Sikhs do not marry their cousins, thats pakistanis! Not all brown people are the same pakistanis, sikhs hindu's etc.. are all different!!
I can't believe how shallow you are!!!! and your sooo wrong!! we should get rid of people like you bitch!! kill you straight off you fukin twat!!!
Your obviously immature and know nothing!! i feel sorry for you!! your obviously try'na get attention!! bless!!
Wow, lots of inappropriate comments here from both Indians and Americans. For all those who are wondering why this happens in India, it's probably because India has a population of over 1 billion people, and a free press. This allows for rare conditions to emerge. I'm sure we'd hear similar stories from China if their press wasn't so restricted. I would guess that it has far less to do with marrying cousins, water, and nuclear activities. It is (delightfully) surprising that she is being worshiped. Seems like she's bringing hope and love to many who need it.
home of the turbonic plague
i enjoy learning about other cultures. america is so boring and the government is running our lives from their private sector underground area 51.
INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE..hahahaha
Re: Winette – uhh…you know the same shit happens in alabama…..but worse. so shut the fuck up
and nobody said it happens in it so u just made it up.
any friggen where but here
Man, I am Indian….and sometimes I think Indian people take everything as a sign from God(s). I think they are going to build a temple for her.
Geeez.
All babys are miracles, but she's just twice as cute.
Wow, the parents are in for a ride! Poor things look pretty darn scared!
What's funny is that white people have defected children ALL the TIME and it never shows up in the news!!
Out of every race white people have the highest number of rare birth defects..all inbred for centuries.
I have seen the most common SCARY physical birth defects in white people that I have never seen coming from anywhere else in the world.
Im sure there are babies in the US and Europe with two faces that don't end up on the news
i think white people with red necks and that red pimply acne thing all over their body are much more disgusting… and when they go in the sun, they look like FUGLY with the sunburn and again the whole going "red" thing…
welcome to my cab can you smell that i just humped my sister in the back seat
I am torn on whether or not to feel bad for this child. Obviously its sad that she had to be born with an abnormality, because God forbid anyone in this world is different right? But lets be serious, she was born in Rural India, its not like her family has a lot of money or opportunity. The fact that people are coming to worship her and give her family money means she will be well taken care of.
OMG THIS IS SAD PPL.
ALMOST AS SAD AS THE BABY WITH 8LIMBS :s
These coments ppl r making are really rasict and disgusting
India has a few problems…so does America…so does the rest of the WORLD
things like this happen EVERYWHERE!
