आज मेरे अटैक को 14 साल हो गए है, इन 14 सालों में बोहुत कुछ बदला है, बोहुत सारी चीज़ें अच्छी हुई बोहुत सारी चीज़ें बुरी जिसके बारे में सोच के भी डर लगता है, लोगों को लगता है, ऐसिड अटैक हुआ है ये सबसे बड़ा दुःख है, सबको यही दिखता है, जब कोई भी अटैक होता है , ना सिर्फ़ हमारी पूरे परिवार की ज़िंदगी बदल जाती है, अचानक से एक नया मोड़ आ जाता है, क्यूँकि वो इंसान एक बार अटैक करता है, सोसाइटी बार बार अटैक करती है, जीने नही देती जिससे जिसके ऊपर क्राइम हुआ है, वो या परिवार का कोई एक व्यक्ति आत्महत्या कर लेता है, मुझे पता है हर साल ये तारिख मेरे जीवन में आएगी और आज का दीन उस दिन जैसा ही तकलीफ़ भरा होता है, उस वक़्त तो पापा भाई भी थे पर आज वो भी नही है, हर 22 अप्रैल मेरे लिए कुछ नई तकलीफ़ देती है, जिसके बारे में सोच के भी डर जाती हूँ, आख़िर मैं भी इंसान हु मुझे भी तकलीफ़ होती है, मैं कभी नही चाहती जो मेरे साथ हुआ है वो किसी और के साथ हो, जब मैं 15 साल की थी तो अपने पापा मम्मी से कुछ नही बोल सकी मन में डर था कही ना कही की अगर कहा तो मुझे ही ग़लत बोलेंगे और वो चुपी की वझा से उस क्रिमिनल ने फाएदा उठाया आज इस पोस्ट को हर कोई पड़ेगा, और मैं चाहती हूँ इस पोस्ट से आप लोग एक सबक़ ले जो माँ बाप है वो अपने बच्चों के साथ दोस्ती करे ताकि वो अपने मन की बात आपको बता सकते क्यूँकि जब भी कोई दिक़्क़त होती है माँ बाप को ही ज़्यादा परेशान होना पड़ता है, और जो बच्चे है, वो भी अपने मम्मी पापा के साथ दोस्ती करे, अपने मन की बात आप अपने मम्मी पापा को बताइए ताकि जो भी दिक़्क़त हो वो साथ मिलकर ठीक कर सके,याद रहे अटैक शिरफ एक पर्सन पर नही पूरे परिवार पर होता है ……. #stopsaleacid" [sic]

She also said, "I am also elated that a celebrity like Deepika is playing me. I just want to say that this film will be a tight slap on that attacker who thought he has ruined my life and to society who looked at me like a criminal. I saw a lot of makeup artists on social media recreating Deepika's look from film. Unhone vaisa makeup karke apni photos mujhe bheji hui hain. Kabhi socha nahi tha ki ek acid-attack survivor ke face ko bhi log recreate karenge." 

 Meanwhile, Meghna Gulzar, director of 'Chhapaak' took to her Instagram handle to anunce that film's Delhi schedule has been wrapped and shooting is half-way done. Here's her post with entire crew -
