1) Almost nine years ago when Laxmi was only a teenaged girl, she had acid thrown at her by a man who she had refused to marry. But unlike other acid attack victims, Laxmi put up a brave fight and rekindled her life.

She did not give up her zeal to live and she finally succeeded in giving her life a new shape.

A 25-year old social activist Alok Dixit was so much influenced by Laxmi's courage and spirit that he decided to spend his entire life with the brave girl.

Alok actively runs a social media campaign against growing cases of acid attacks.

It was on the basis of Laxmi's PIL that the Supreme Court last year banned the open sale of acid across India.
