The mother of formerly conjoined Bangladeshi twins Trishna and Krishna has seen her daughters for first time in three years.

Lovely Goldar gave up the twins, who were in poor health, to a Bangladesh orphanage in the hope they would provide care.

However, the operation the twins needed took place in Australia, after Moira Kelly brought the girls from Bangladesh for the 32-hour operation.

Ms Goldar could not hold back tears of joy at the sight of her daughters.

"Trishy came up and warmed to us so beautifully and wiped away our tears," Ms Kelly told TV3 News in Australia.

"At that point mum was able to put her arms around her little girl. It gives me goose bumps now.

"I think every 10 minutes we would burst out crying," said Ms Kelly.
