Exclusive – “Want To Reach US Soon”: Father Of Injured Student Ahead Of Visa Interview

Visa mil jaaye bus itna hi aur udhar jaa sake hum (We just hope to get the visa and go to America),” said an emotional Tanaji Shinde, whose daughter Nilam Shinde is in a coma in a California hospital.

Nilam Shinde, a 35-year-old postgraduate student at California State University, suffered serious injuries, including fractures, after a four-wheeler hit her on February 14.

“Humko America jaldi jaane ka (We have to go to America as soon as possible),” Tanaji Shinde, fighting back tears, told NDTV.

Gaurav Kadam, Tanaji’s son, pitched in, saying, “Depression ki wajah se jyada bol nahi paa rahe hain (He is not able to speak much due to depression).”
