Struggling for life, acid attack survivor Bala has found a new hope as star actor Deepika Padukone has extended a helping hand to save her life. The acid attack survivor, who is suffering from a life-threatening kidney ailment, urgently needs a kidney transplant to survive. After the word reached Deepika, she donated a generous amount of Rs 10,00,000 to the `Save Bala` campaign.
Bala is a real-life star who was also featured in the Deepika Padukone-starrer movie `Chhapaak`, directed by Meghna Gulzar, besides appearing on `The Kapil Sharm Show`. Her condition is deteriorating every day due to the failure of both her kidneys and she`s somehow surviving on dialysis. Being an acid attack survivor, her weakened immunity is already a threat to her life.
