In a heart touching moment, 26-year-old acid attack survivor Lalita Bansi tied the knot with her boyfriend Ravi Shankar Singh in Mumbai on Tuesday. And, Vivek Oberoi made it a special occasion for the bride and the groom.
The actor, who is known for his philanthropic acts, didn't just attend Lalita's wedding but he gifted a house to her, as a wedding gift. A source says, “Vivek had met Lalita at a function in March where he got to know about her problems and the fact that she was homeless. The actor had promised her that he will gift her a house in his affordable housing project, Karrm.”

Talking about Lalita, the Dum actor said, "Lalita is a true hero because she has given a new hope to thousands of acid attack survivors to live their life like a normal human being. I wish they stay happy together. He (Rahul) loves her truly. He was telling me that their love story is filmy. It was a wrong number and then they became friends. Now they are starting a new life. Lalita is a strong girl. I met Lalita when we had an awareness programme held by Sahas foundation."
