An acid attack on a 17-year-old girl by two masked men in Delhi on Tuesday brought back for Kangana Ranaut the painful memories of a similar attack on her sister, Rangoli Chandel.
Rangoli, who now manages her sister’s work, was 21 years old when she was assaulted by acid and underwent 52 surgeries along with an unimaginable amount of mental and physical trauma.
She suffered third-degree burns. As per Ranaut, her sister’s face was burnt, one eye lost its vision, one ear melted away and a breast was severely damaged.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Ranaut shared her sister’s trauma and how she herself was terrified after the attack and feared someone might throw acid on her as well. She said, “When I was a teenager my, sister Rangoli R Chancel was attacked with acid by a roadside Romeo... She had to go through 52 surgeries, an unimaginable amount of mental and physical trauma...”
She continued, “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... The 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 the work front, Kangana Ranaut has multiple projects at various stages of development. She is presently busy filming the final schedule of her much-anticipated film, Emergency.
