Physically challenged dancer, Vinod Thakur, who rose to fame after he performed in Nach Baliye and India's Got Talent, has been admitted in a hospital in Malad, Mumbai. The artist had aimed to get his name added in the Guinness World Records for the longest wheelchair journey from India Gate, Delhi to the Gateway Of India, Mumbai in a span of 40 days. His aim to do so got him a lot of attention and admiration. However, he complained of feeling uneasy once he reached Hindustan naka in Charkop. According to reports in Midday, he was rushed to Raksha Hospital in Malad after he collapsed there.

Dr. Pranav Kabra told the daily, "The patient was admitted in the hospital at around 5.30 am on Sunday. He was in such a critical condition that his blood pressure could not be recorded. His pulse was low and he was unconscious. We immediately put him on ventilator and started administering inotrope drugs. Almost after a six-hour struggle, he regained consciousness. However, he will need another 24 hours to recover." It's rather sad that the performer fell ill after almost completing his journey and his aim. He also wanted to spread awareness on the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign through his journey.

His team that accompanied him in this journey immediately contacted an NGO that works for disabled people, who helped Vinod get the right medical care. Nevada Putman, founder and director of Nevada Putman Foundation said, "Thakur is likely to stay in the hospital for another two to three days till his condition becomes stable. His journey to the Gateway Of India has been postponed. After his recovery, we will provide him the support required to complete the journey." We hope Thakur gets well really soon and completes his journey. What are your thoughts on this? Tell us in the comments below and stay tuned with us for more.
