Bodyshock

The Girl with Eight Limbs

Watch this episode now on 4oD A smiling Lakshmi Tatma before her operation

For a few weeks in 2007 she was the most famous little girl in the world. Lakshmi Tatma was the girl with eight limbs, born with one of the world's rarest physical abnormalities.

Joined at the pelvis to her half-formed twin, she had four arms and four legs. In her remote Indian village she was revered as a living god.

Bodyshock had exclusive access to follow Lakshmi and her family through the life-threatening surgery to remove her extra limbs.
