This beautiful girl was only 15/16 when one of her friend;s brother threw acid on her at busy hour in a bus stop. Dont ask the question why... the answer is well known. She refused to accept his love proposal. Love well off course he was allegedly a 32 yrs  matured man... proposing a teenager.  She is completely disfigured. Her life was shattered but momentarily... unlike other victims of these gruesome heinous crime she didnt lose hope...she is a born fighter. It took seven long years to get the justice. She started a tireless campaign against usage of acid for violence. Finally the apex court intervenes and directed the union government to regulate the  sale  of acid.
The first Lady of the US of A Mrs Michelle Obama on her recent visit to India felicitated Laxmi for her courage and determination. She also won the International Women of Courage Award for successfully leading the campaign against acid attacks on women in India.
By the way this is how she looks without make up
