Acid in Delhi
After a 17-year-old girl was attacked with acid in Delhi, actor Kangana Ranaut recalled the horrific experience of her sister, Rangoli Chandel. Rangoli was 21 when she was attacked with acid and had suffered third-degree burns. Kangana had once mentioned that half of Rangoli’s face was burnt, and she lost vision in one eye, lost a year and a breast was severely damaged.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kangana wrote, “When I was a teenager my sister @rangoli r chandel was attacked with acid by a roadside Romeo… She had to go through 52 surgeries, an unimaginable amount of mental and physical trauma… We as a family were devastated… I also had to go through therapy because I feared anyone passing me might throw acid on me which caused me to cover my face violently in a reflex action every time a biker a car a stranger crossed me …. These atrocities haven’t stopped …. Government needs to act very strongly against these crimes…I do agree with @gautamgambhir55 we need to take very strict measures against acid attackers…”
On Wednesday, two masked men on a bike threw acid on the class 12 student minutes after she left her west Delhi home for school. As reported by PTI, the girl has sustained eight percent burn injuries and is undergoing treatment at Safdarjung Hospital’s burn ICU. The accused probably threw nitric acid on the victim, as told by the officials.
Kangana is currently working on the last schedule of her film, Emergency. She is directing the film and also plays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, and Satish Kaushik. She also has Tejas lined up for release. Her production venture, Tiku Weds Sheru too will release next year.
