Kangana Ranaut’s sister, Rangoli, recently made a huge public appearance after the sisters posed together for a magazine cover.
If you remember, a man attacked Rangoli with acid few years back. The attacker was someone who was obsessing over her. Sister Kangana did her utmost best to help her recover both physically and emotionally. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Rangoli revealed details about the horrific attack. Read the excerpts below:
“Acid permeates into the skin if untreated. So immediate medical help can only control it. If it is stronger, it destroys your organs. I have lost one ear. I have lost 90% vision in one of my eyes. I have a dysfunctional breast. And all this is after I got the best possible treatment in the country. Acid attack is not a regular accident. When it happened, I was unable to breathe because my windpipe was shrinking. Scars were the last thing on my mind then. I didn’t have the courage to face a mirror for three months. I was shaken up. My prerogative was struggling for my life because both my food and wind pipe were severely damaged. I was in the hospital for a month, and I underwent multiple surgeries during that time. Every day I was taken to the operation theatre for something or the other.
Plastic surgery is not so easy. It doesn’t give you a new face. I had to get the skin from thighs and get grafting done. It took 57 surgeries. The physical pain was excruciating and at 23 the mental trauma was painful. Kangana was a struggler back then, but she brought me here. My parents couldn’t bear seeing at me in that scene then.”
Kangana added, “We don’t glorify the right heroes. And I want men to know how far people stoop in aggression. People should give my sister the credit she deserves. There is no reservation for attack victims. There are reservations for physically able people, but those ostracized for no fault of theirs have no one championing for their cause. The guy who did this to my sister was out for two years before his trial started. Our society should see what criminals are capable of and set an example that no one takes this route of destroying someone’s life. Her life is not ruined but he is a scumbag, and that should come across.
A guy had obsessed over her for years, but she was very emotionally attached to the man my parents had chosen for her. They were in an intense relationship for two years but after the attack, he immediately washed hands off her. I was amazed at her strength when I told her that he might not marry you. She dismissively replied saying ‘whatever’. Later she fell in love with her childhood friend Ajay. They dated for four years, and even his mother was against the alliance. I went home thinking she must be shattered. She was lazying on a couch, watching TV, binging on chips. Marriage was the last thing on her mind when she was fighting for life, and her fiancé fled. But when she and Ajay were planning to marry, she was past that phase. When I asked her what if it doesn’t happen and she promptly replied saying, ‘If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. We will go for dinner somewhere.’ She is so tough and inspirational. Later that night, we went for dinner. And over Rajma Chawal, we chatted and laughed about the restaurant’s name.
We’re glad, Ranaut could come over that phase and emerged as a powerful woman.
