New Delhi | Jagran Entertainment Desk: Everyone knows about Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel’s acid attack. Rangoli, herself is vocal about the attack on public platforms. She had also expressed her grief publicly during the time when she was recovering from the pains of the acid attack.
Recently, Rangoli Chandel has also spoken about how her sister Kangana supported her after the acid attack on her. She also spoke about how Kangana managed to collect money for her treatments even after their parents gave up.
Rangoli shared an emotional post on her Twitter handle, in which she talked about Kangana’s statement. Rangoli in her post for sister Kangana wrote: "I can never pay back what you did for me, at that tender age you were just 19 years old the horror of that accident even our parents couldn’t take they used to see my face and just faint they left but you stood by my side washed my wounds”.
“Worked day and night to pay for my treatment, and then after years struggle when things got better you buried your face in my lap and cried... I am glad you did cause strongest people most often forget to share their pain... thank you Chotu”, she added in another post.
Rangoli’s reaction came after Kangana Ranaut in an interview with Mumbai Mirror said, “It was horrific! You hurt if your loved one gets even a scratch or a pimple, so, you can imagine the kind of pain one would feel to see their face melt. Outward appearance is far more important to a woman than a man, and taking that away from her is a fool-proof way of isolating her from the world. I was just 19, on the threshold of a bright career, when the attack happened and it was a long, hard struggle to deal with this kind of perverse, sexist cruelty.”
She also revealed that she had to do tacky films in order to get money for her treatments and said, “Financially too, I was not strong back then. Girls around me would feel depressed by a bad hair day or because a meal was not to their liking. I was grappling with something far more real and yet had no time to sit and cry. I did tacky films, took on roles I did not deserve, accepted guest appearances, so my sister could be treated by the best surgeon in India. It took 54 surgeries.”
On the work front, Kangana will next be seen in Panga. The film is inspired by the life of a national level Kabbadi player from India. It follows her triumphs, struggles and overcoming of stereotypes and reflecting upon the importance of love and family support in order to become successful. Panga will hit the theatres on January 24.
