On the 20^th of March 2021, Deekshitha fell down in her bathroom. Her concerned parents took her to a nearby Orthopedic, to undergo an X-Ray to check if she had any fractures due to the fall. The report revealed that her right-knee had severely swollen up. To get further clarity on this development, she underwent an MRI-Scan.

To get a second opinion, her parents took her to KS-Hospital in Koppal, where she underwent a second round of CT-Scan and MRI-Scan; the report confirming the presence of Bone-Cancer.
