Dwivedi is the subject of the British television documentary The Girl Who Cries Blood, which initially aired on January 12 on Channel 4 as part of a series called Body Shock. In the show, a variety of explanations for Dwivedi's condition are offered, ranging from the medical to the spiritual. It is also suggested by some of the professionals consulted in the show that the condition may be a hoax, as such bleeding should not be medically possible.http://channelhopping.onthebox.com/2010/01/12/the-girl-who-cries-blood-review-seeing-red/
