town of Kolkata as the Spider Sisters
Jamuna added: “We have been very happy
since he came into our lives. We have suffered
in the past but we don’t want to suffer anymore.
We really hope to spend the rest of our lives
with him.” The twins, who share a stomach but
have separate hearts, kidneys and livers, were
born to an impoverished family near Kolkata,
West Bengal. Their parents were unable to pay
for medical attention and deserted them when
they reached their teens, fearing they were a
sign of God’s fury. With no education they
joined a travelling circus, performing for
audiences across India.
They earned a relatively good wage of £25 a
night but began to tire after years on the road.
It was then that they first laid eyes on Ahmad,
36, who worked part-time with the circus as a
sound engineer, and were stunned to discover
he shared their feelings.

He said: “Ever since I met them I have
considered their pain as my own. I have always
been like this. I have always treated other
people’s troubles as my own and tried to make
things better. “Now, every night I sit with them.
We share a meal on the terrace and talk about
our lives. I sit with them in the evening breeze
and we share our joys and our sorrows.
“Sometimes we listen to music and sit up
talking late into the night. There have been
times when we have been up talking to 4am and
then woken up late the next morning.” Coming
from a conservative culture, the twins are
understandably coy about discussing their love
life – but say there has been intimacy.

Lonely: The pair suffered years of heartbreak
because of their condition
However, like many of the best relationships,
their love is based mostly on fun and
companionship. Ganga, who gets around with
her sister by walking on their hands, said: “The
best thing about him is that he has a great
sense of humour. Also, he is a very kind man.
We call him Mr India.”
The trio have now been together seven months
and live in a village near Kolkata. Ahmad works
at a local school but also helps the sisters in
the evenings by driving them to performances.
Despite their love, they have no plans to marry,
believing it will not be accepted by the
community.

Happy: The pair are now deeply in love with
Jasimuddin
The sisters have been taken to see a surgeon
about the possibility of being separated but
have rejected the idea, fearing it would endanger
their lives and rob them of their livelihood. For
now, they are simply happy to enjoy the love
and companionship they have craved for so
many years and determined to enjoy it for as
long as it lasts.
“We hope he stays with us, it will be a great
support,” said Jamuna. “If he wishes it too then
we will be lucky. Otherwise our lives will
become as anchorless as ever.”
