Nana Hazel Branche's spirit is indestructible. The 99-year-old suffered a stroke earlier this year while visiting her grandson in Florida, and while she was on her path to recovery, she fractured her right hip and suffered another stroke, this time, after returning to India. But Tuesday brought lots of cheer for one of Bandra's most beloved teachers after doctors told her the fracture had completely healed.

Florida to Mumbai to Goa
Nana had suffered the stroke in May and was hospitalised in the US for treatment. Following her recovery, she returned to Mumbai on June 15. From here, she moved to Goa to spend the monsoon with her daughter Judy. But as fate would have it, Nana's health deteriorated further in Goa three weeks ago, leaving her with a fracture in her right hip. It left her bedridden, as traction weights had to be tied to her ankles to prevent movement that could further damage her hip.
