Some Lesser Known Facts About Laxmi Agarwal
She was born into a middle-class family in New Delhi.
Laxmi Agarwal before the acid attack
At the age of 15, Laxmi survived an awful acid attack by a 32-year-old man, Gudda a.k.a Nahim Khan, and his 2 other friends; as she had rejected Guddaâs marriage proposal.
In 2006, she had filed a PIL in which she pleaded for a total ban on the sale of acid, citing the expanding number of incidents of acid attacks on women.
After she recovered from the attack, she did not put herself in isolation and instead she started campaigning for âStop Acid Attacksâ and worked as a campaign coordinator.
Gradually, her work, made her the voice of all the acid attack survivors across the world.
She introduced her own campaign âStop Sale Acid.â Because of her dedicated work, she was awarded many times in India.
In 2013, the Supreme Court regulated a new set of rules prevailing the sale of acid in India in which a person below the age of 18 could not purchase acids and an identity card should be produced by the customer before purchasing an acid.
During the âStop Sale Acidâ campaign, Laxmi and other survivors of acid attacks stood together and started a hunger strike for the rehabilitation of such survivors and also to achieve an immediate legal justice.
In 2014, she started hosting a television show, Udaan, that aired on News Express.
In 2014, she met Alok Dixit and they fell for each other instantly. The couple decided to challenge the taboos of Indian society by not getting married and living in a live-in relationship.
According to Laxmi, the main reason for not getting married was that in Indian marriages, the bride is expected to be very beautiful. She says that people would judge Laxmi on her appearance on her wedding day so they decided not to get married ever.
She, along with her partner Alok, founded an NGO, Chhanv Foundation. The couple together has a daughter, Pihu. However, later the couple parted ways after the birth of their daughter.
