A rather different take on the traditional ceremony that reveals a bride’s face on the very next day of the wedding, #MuhDikhai 2.0 reclaims the idea of a woman’s beauty being associated with her looks.
Chhapaak is directed by Meghna Gulzar and revolves around the story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Aggarwal. Deepika Padukone plays the role of an acid attack survivor and her character has been modelled on the real-life story of Laxmi .
