Saba Rizvi comes from a conservative family in Lucknow, UP. Neither Saba, nor anyone in her family knew about the facilities and the opportunities Saba Rizviavailable for the blind to study, so she never went to school and had always thought that blind people like her can only be home-bound all throughout their lives. Then after 34 years, she almost instantly got addicted to the then new radio show for the blind, Eyeway – Yeh Hai Roshni Ka Karawan (Caravan of Light). Continuously listening to the show each week, she suddenly found herself aspiring to accomplish things in her life like the inspiring lives of blind people interviewed on the radio including Sudha Patel, the first blind lady sarpanch (elected head) of her village, and Nafisa Buhariwalla, a banker. Recently, Saba learned to read Braille and has been enrolled on home study. She is now getting ready to personally appear for class 10 exams.
