Lata Bhagwan true facts

Lata Bhagwan Khare is 65 years old from a small village in Maharashtra, India. Her 3 daughters and a husband were living a life of poverty. She and her husband worked very hard throughout their lives and got their 3 daughters married.

One day suddenly her husband felt restless and came to know that he had a serious infection. Lata was shocked, due to paucity of money and bad condition she did not know what to do. She took him to a nearby hospital, doctors advised to take him to the terminal hospital which was a bit costly for him but he was left with no option as some tests had to be done.

She and her husband came out of the hospital with a heavy heart, a nearby street food court stopped two samosas (a street junk food in India) on a piece of newspaper, their eyes gleaming from the newspaper's bold headline. Uthi, Dil Thoda Chuch Gaya, the title was about 'Baramati Marathon and its prize money'.

And there she comes, 65-year-old Lata Bhagwan Khare, in torn sari (Indian traditional wear), barefoot, tears in her eyes. She argued with the organisers, they were not ready for her to participate in the marathon, she pleaded, she begged, she approved their participation. She completed the marathon and won the prize money. It meant life to her, she was going to see her husband alive. The crowd applauded and applauded, clapping for them in the village streets. People were stunned, they saluted him, applauded his every move.
