A few days after she was born, she was diagnosed with a rare case of deafness which was indeed a blow to her parents. They braved many hurdles to raise her but never treated her as physically challenged. At the age of 12 she had a cochlear transplant which helped her recognize vibrations-like sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Her parents enrolled her in a school that did not resort to sign language for teaching. The school trained her in English. Her mother Hemalatha went to school with her, sat through the classes and trained her at home. Years later Dhyananand who wished for an acting career for his daughter made several efforts to find an opening for Abhinaya.
