We introduce to the world a face that has never been seen before. A face so unconventional, yet full of dreams and aspirations. We introduce Nisha and listen to her talking about her life. In the end, we reveal that she is adopted by a kind-hearted couple – Aloma and David Lobo – who, in fact, went against the belief system of the land to adopt a disabled child.

While India is a modern nation, a majority of it is still comfortably couched in time-worn traditions and beliefs. One of the beliefs is that people who are born disabled are repaying some kind of a karmic debt from a previous lifetime.

As this has been ingrained in the Indian psyche for generations, the disabled have been generally ostracised from society. This is reflected in the number of adoptions of such kids. In the past year, out of 29.6 million orphans in India, only 42 with disabilities found a home.

Talking about this issue meant taking an entire belief system head-on. But as a brand that believes ‘Everyone deserves the touch of care’, we had to. And as the numbers and the comments show, it was well accepted by the masses, once again making Vicks a champion of ‘family care’.
