70-Year-Old Mumbai Woman Saves Daughter-In-Law By Donating Kidney

Prabha Kantilal Mota said she decided to "gift" a kidney to her daughter-in-law because her three sons were scared to do so.

A 70-year-old woman in Mumbai donated a kidney to her 43-year-old daughter-in-law earlier this month, setting an example at a time when several incidents of 'saas-bahu' rivalry have hit the headlines.

The transplant surgery was conducted at Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital on August 1. Ameesha's kidneys were damaged after she was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease last year.

While Ameesha is recovering at the hospital, her mother-in-law, Prabha Kantilal Mota, returned home to a rousing reception organised by her family.
