The Rare Medical Condition 90 Day Fiancé Star Alina Kasha Lives With

As she explained in Season 5 of “Before the 90 Days,” Russian Alina Kasha has a condition called diastrophic dysplasia. In Kasha’s discussion of her condition on the show, she said, “It’s a form of dwarfism. It’s rare and it affects everyone differently. For a child to be born with this type of dwarfism both parents have to be carriers of the gene. It can affect your joints and, of course, your stature. My hands and my feet look pretty different too, but I don’t think the disability is a problem. In many areas of my life, I try to do everything, really.”

Kasha was shown using a wheelchair at times on “Before the 90 Days,” and partner Caleb Greenwood even brought a backpack in which to carry her while hiking (via Screen Rant). She also chose to have her friend Elijah accompany her to Turkey to meet Greenwood so that he could assist her if needed (via Showbiz Cheat Sheet).

In a video on her YouTube channel, Kasha answered some questions she had received about her diastrophic dysplasia. In one response on her advice to young girls with disabilities, she shared, “[M]y advice would be to just love yourself. Like, who cares if you have a disability or not? If someone has a problem with that, it’s their problem, it’s not yours.”
