Vaibbhav Jain (22), who is currently admitted in Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, broke his spinal cord in a swimming pool accident on January 18. He has been in the ICU since then.


Shikha, who lives in Delhi with her husband, makes regular trips to Mumbai to meet her brother in the hospital. She said, My brother has been in the ICU for the past one month and cannot move. This hoarding is right across his window. Whenever I dropped in to meet him, I saw this hoarding. Recently when I returned to Delhi after paying him a visit, I called the owner of the hoarding and decided to book it for my brother.

The hoarding message says, Vaibbhav we all love you loads. Please keep smiling.

Said Vaibbhav, who is on bed rest, The nurse woke me up in the morning to show me the hoarding.

His mother added, The hoarding was a surprise for all of us. It brought a big smile on Vaibbhav's face after a really long time. He was really happy to see it.
