The film is based on the story of acid attack survivor and activist Laxmi Agarwal. Laxmi was attacked when she was all of 15 by a man, after she refused to marry him. 

Ever since Deepika shared the picture on social media, people can't stop raving about her look, which has since gone viral on the internet. Be it a celebrity or a common man, people can't take their eyes off her and her uncanny resemblance to Laxmi.
