आज @aayush_kundal से मिलना मेरे लिए एक अविस्मरणीय क्षण बन गया। आयुष ने जिस प्रकार पेंटिंग में महारत हासिल की और अपनी भावनाओं को पैर की उंगलियों से आकार दिया, वो हर किसी को प्रेरित करने वाला है। अनवरत प्रेरणा मिलती रहे, इसलिए मैं उन्हें ट्विटर पर फॉलो कर रहा हूं। pic.twitter.com/hHskGAFQXW

Aayush trained hard to acquire skills
The specially abled Aayush Kundal suffers from cerebral palsy. His 80% of body is affected by the disease, thus making him dependent on parents for daily chores of life.
Aayush paints with his feet. Born in Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh on April 27, 1997, he toiled hard to master the artwork. At 10 years of age, Aayush joined a school for the physically disabled. He gradually developed an interest in drawing and sketching. As he followed his heart, he went on to master the skills and since then never looked back.
Initially, the journey for Aayush was very challenging & draining as he couldn’t use his hands for drawing & painting but slowly he perfected the skills using his legs. Today, he has made his way into people’s hearts via paintings. He has also been awarded for his artworks at various exhibitions in Indore.
