Conjoined twins Shivanath and Shivram Sahu, who have just turned 18, have said they have no regrets after turning down the chance to be separated.
The pair, from Khenda Village in the Baloda Bazar district of India, were first brought to the attention of the international community after a video of them washing and dressing themselves was widely shared online in 2014.
Following this, the twins - who are joined at the waist and share two legs and four arms - were approached by several doctors who offered to split them, but the duo are determined to remain together.
They are now said to be too old for the operation but couldn't be happier with their decision.

Speaking to Barcroft TV, Shivanath said: 'We can't get separated now even if we wanted to. It was possible when we were kids but now it is impossible. The doctors told us that we can't be operated on.
'But we don't want to do anything anyway. We want to stay like this. We have a very unique gift from God. We consider ourselves as two bodies but one soul.'
The pair were born in a tiny village near Raipur in central India and are worshipped by some as divine incarnations.
