Veena-Vani were born in 2003 to Murali and Nagalakshmi couple as conjoined twins in the Mahabubnagar district of Telangana. Their parents refused to take them as they could not afford their treatment. The twins lived in Niloufer Hospital in Hyderabad until age 12 and were later shifted to State Home.
Doctors have attempted to separate the twins. However, they could not succeed. Over the course of a year, several medical and surgical specialists from Singapore, the United Kingdom, and India have investigated the twins to find a method of separating them.
