He had a rough start to life as he had met with an accident at an extremely young age. It was traumatic for him as the bike he was traveling in had collided with a bus. He was admitted to a hospital in the ICU with a major head injury that is a protruding skull and was home after 70 stitches. The doctor advised focusing mainly on the mental engagement of Bhanu as a part of his recovery process.
When he was only five years old, his family members made sure that he didn’t face any mirror in any corner of the house. This step was taken to ensure that the child didn’t feel demoralized by seeing his disfigured face. To keep him engaged during the period he was at home for a year, they decided to introduce him to the world of puzzles.
