Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey who will soon be playing a pivotal role in the Deepika Padukone starrer Chhapaak which is based on the real-life story of acid-attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, in an interaction with a media publication said, ''Acid attack is one of the most heinous crimes, and in a progressive society like ours where we intend to create an environment of parity for all genders, incidents like these are unacceptable.''

The Chhappak actor added that no one has the right to ruin someone's life. India is a developing country and while we are sending Chandrayaan to the moon and showing to the world our potential as a nation, we are sadly doing little to stop these heinous crimes.
