AHMEDABAD: Executive registrar of Mudra Institute of Communication and AdvertisingKGK Pillai, 61, has recently got a three-year extension. This, after he got a fresh lease of life when a 21-year-old youth's liver was implanted in him in 2008.

The liver of the young man, who died in an accident, has miraculously reversed ageing. Pillai's hair have turned from grey to black, his wrinkles are gone and he is no longer dependent on diabetes drugs.

Four years after the transplant in Chennai, 61-year-old Pillai says, "I don't just look young, I feel like reborn as a young man." He is happy his complexion has also improved thanks Dr Anand Khakhar — a transplant surgeon in Chennai who belongs to Rajkot — for the transformation.

"I used to take medicine for diabetes for 12 years. After the transplant, I am off drugs as my sugar levels are mysteriously under control," says Pillai, who takes morning walks every day.

Doctors say that the blackening of hair and renewed energy experienced by Pillai can be attributed to availability of nutrition to the body as liver functions have normalized.
