Acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, who has inspired Deepika Padukone's next Chhapaak, has taken the internet by storm with her viral dance video. Laxmi, who is active on the video-sharing platform Tik Tok, shared a video of herself where she is seen dancing gracefully to Shraddha Kapoor's Cham Cham from the movie Baaghi.
In the video, Laxmi is dancing elegantly and gracefully on the tunes of the song 'Cham Cham' and is quite impressive with her dancing skills.
Laxmi Agarwal fights for the rights of acid attack victims. She has inspired thousands of people and has become the voice of acid attack survivors in India. In 2005, Laxmi was attacked at the age of 15, by a 32-year-old man, who wanted to marry her. Back then, Laxmi had rejected him but he refused to take no for an answer, thereby, throwing acid on her face.
Laxmi was honoured by former first-lady of USA, Michelle Obama. She has even worked as a campaigner for Stop Acid Attacks, which helped impose restrictions on the sale of acid. Laxmi is regarded as one of the pioneers for the upliftment and empowerment of the rights of acid attack survivors in India.
