Laxmi Agarwal who is an acid attack survivor, has inspired Meghna Gulzar's upcoming film, Chhapaak. Laxmi recently revealed that her dream was to become a singer and participate in the reality TV show, Indian Idol. During the promotions of Chhapaak on the current season of Indian Idol where Laxmi turned up along with Deepika Padukone, who plays Laxmi’s character in the film, Laxmi said that she had left her home to participate in Indian Idol because it was her dream to come and sing on the stage. But, the unfortunate event (the acid attack) delayed her dream. However, even today, her dream is still alive, and thanks to the movie promotions and the love of all her well-wishers, Laxmi could grace the Indian Idol stage.
As for Deepika, she has had a roller-coaster ride in Bollywood. Right from being the Shanti Priya in Om Shaanti Om, to playing Malti in Chhapaak, a woman who rises from the ashes just like a phoenix right after facing an acid attack; Deepika has essayed a variety of roles on the big screen. Today, she is one of the most established actors in the industry.
