Rohit, who is 12 years old and from Uttar Pradesh, India, has a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as ‘brittle bone disease’.

Despite his condition, the young child dreams of becoming a singer when he grows up and is determined not to let his illness hold him back.
There is currently no cure for osteogenesis imperfecta, but individuals with the condition can undergo treatment to help protect and strengthen their bones. However, many of these treatments are not accessible in developing countries.
Rohit is shown brushing his teeth, adapting to his situation despite his severe condition. He is being taught to read by his older sister but experiences terrible pain throughout most of the day.
