Until three years ago, teenager Jamshedur Rahman Zenith was hailed as the 'golden boy' of the state-level cricket team in Dhaka, Bangladesh. With dreams to play for his country, Zenith had everything going for him. But, it all came to naught, when he was diagnosed with cancer in his left knee in 2014. In a matter of months, Zenith's dreams were crushed to smithereens as he was forced to amputate his leg to prevent the cancer from spreading. Zenith would have sunk into depression, had he not found his calling in music. The 19-year-old, who is currently being treated at the Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH) in Parel after his cancer relapsed last year, is now preparing to participate in an Indian music reality show.
