Chhapaak acid attacker's name controversy
There were reports that acid attacker's name in Deepika Padukone's film 'Chhapaak' has been changed from "Nadeem Khan" to "Rajesh" after a magazine article's claim. In 2005, Laxmi was disfigured for life when a man called Nadeem Khan and three others allegedly hurled acid at her in Delhi's upscale Khan Market. The truth is that in the film Laxmi is ''Malti'' Agarwal and Nadeem became ''Babboo'' aka ''Bashir Khan''.
