In April last year, Sandhya from Hyderabad's Ranga Reddy district was going to be married off while she was in the middle of her class 10 exams. She was just 16 then, clueless and scared for what was going to happen next. Her father, however, thought it was the best thing for her. On her complaint, NDTV went with child rights activists and saved her from becoming a child bride. An year later, she has topped class 11 exams in her college with 93 per cent and cannot contain her joy.
