Kangana Ranaut remembered her sister, Rangoli Chandel's awful experience when a 17-year-old girl was assaulted with acid in Delhi. Rangoli was 21 years old when she was assaulted by acid and received third-degree burns.

Kangana once stated that half of Rangolis face was burned, that she lost eyesight in one eye, that she missed a year, and that a breast was seriously wounded.

Kangana posted on her Instagram stories, “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 or 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…”


Two masked guys on a bike hurled acid at the class 12 kid only minutes after she left her west Delhi house for school on Tuesday.

According to reports, the girl suffered 8% burn injuries and is being treated at Safdarjung Hospital's burn ICU. According to the police, the accused most likely threw nitric acid on the victim.
