Annu Mukharji was a dancer in a hotel in Delhi. On 19th December, 2004, Annu's co worker Meena Khan, who was also a dancer in the hotel, threw acid on Annu's face, out of sheer jealousy, rage and insecurity, as Annu was earning more than her.
This deadly acid attack shook her entire life. She lost her eyes completely, her nose was mutilated. Her face was completely disfigured, so much that no one could dare to look at her until she got her nose reconstructed.
