Diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis as a child, Trupti Sagar spent years living with chronic pain, limited mobility and eventually a wheelchair.

But behind the physical battle was another story — growing up as a girl in a conservative family, feeling overlooked, navigating disability, body image, relationships and a world that often saw her condition before it saw her.

In my first Gujarati conversation on ⁠Unfiltered With Sapna⁠⁠, Trupti opens up about the darkest moments of her childhood, undergoing two hip replacements, learning to walk again, becoming independent, pursuing her education, and stepping into modeling and social media.

Today, she has built a community of over 90,000 followers — and she still has one big dream: to see herself on a billboard on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road.

Trupti doesn’t want her story to be told through pity. She wants to be seen for everything she has become.

Dr. Sakshi Batla was a successful dental surgeon with a loving family and a life filled with dreams. But behind the doors of her marriage, she endured emotional abuse, humiliation and relentless mental torture—until she reached a point where she almost lost her life.

At the age of 51, Dr. Sakshi put on a pair of skates for the first time. What began as a way to save herself became an extraordinary new chapter that led her to become a Guinness World Record holder.
