Ahead of International Yoga Day, Kangana Ranaut, on Sunday, shared the story of how yoga helped her sister, Rangoli Chandel to overcome the trauma she went through following an acid attack. Rangoli, at the age of 21, was attacked with acid and had to undergo 53 surgeries. "She started practising Yoga and I saw a dramatic transformation in her," said Kangy.
Recalling the horrific acid attack incident, Kangana wrote in her Instagram post, "Rangoli has the most inspiring Yoga story. A roadside Romeo threw acid on Rangoli when she was hardly 21. With third-degree burns, half of her face burnt, one eye lost its vision, one ear melted away and a breast severely damaged, she had to go through 53 surgeries in 2-3 years. But that wasn’t all, my biggest concern was her mental health as she had stopped to speak. Yes, no matter what happened she would not say a word, just stare blankly at everything."
