Shah Rukh Khan did not become the influencer he is today just because he is a good actor. The great humanitarian work and his philanthropy have also helped him achieve the global star status that he has.
Shah Rukh Khan did not become the influencer he is today just because he is a good actor. His philanthropy has also helped him achieve his global star status. SRK recently met a few very special women and has asked his fans and followers to pray for them. These women were the acid attack survivors who are undergoing corrective surgeries. The actor reshared a collage of pictures from his afternoon with the lovely ladies and wrote some thought-provoking words along with it. He wrote, "ll of u please put ur hands in prayer...and say Bhagwan inki zindagi ki nayi shuruaat mein...inpar karam karna...May God have mercy on them...Insha Allah. These r my sisters & need ur prayers for recovery, without distinguishing between the mode of prayer (sic)"
Meer Foundation, while sharing the picture, wrote on Twitter, "Acid attack survivors undergoing corrective surgeries, supported by #MeerFoundation through the #ToGETherTransformed initiative to rehabilitate acid attack survivors, spent a beautiful afternoon with @iamsrk, sharing their dreams and drawing courage, together."
Recently, Deepika Padukone started shooting for a film titled Chhapaak. The actress will be seen playing the role of an acid attack victim in the movie, which is being directed by Raazi and Talvar fame Meghna Gulzar. The first look of Chhapaak, featuring Deepika, was launched a few days back and it stunned the netizen.
Kangana Ranaut's sister, Rangoli Chandel, who herself is an acid attack survivor, tweeted out to Deepika, stating she will support the movie no matter what. Chhapaak is slated to release in January 2020. With celebs coming forward to talk about acid attacks, let's hope that more awareness is created about the lives of these survivors. We hope to never write a news piece about any acid attack anywhere in the world.
