The attackers were 3 men one of whom included her own brother in law. The 3 men had intended to attack Reshmas sister Gulshan but Reshma was unfortunately mistaken for her. The attack had devastating consequences & Reshma was left with severe scaring on her face & arms as well as losing one of her eyes. Naturally the psychological impact was devastating & she struggled with suicidal thoughts. However Reshma is a very strong woman & overcame this. She is now the face of the Make Love Not Scars campaign in India, an influential blogger and also a model having walked the runway for the 2016 New York Fashion Week. 4) Sonali Mukherjee - Tiwari Sonali suffered horrendous injuries when she was the victim of an acid attack back in 2003. Sonali was attacked due to turning down the advances of 3 men when she was only 17 years old. She was left with 70% burns to her face & sadly lost her eyesight. Despite being an innocent victim she was shockingly left with no state assistance so she appeared on India's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in an attempt to win money to help fund surgery. In 2013 Sonali was contacted by Chittaranjan Tiwari who was very much touched by her story. They spent many hours talking to one another via the phone & I'm happy to say that in 2015 the pair married. 3) Natalia Ponce Natalia was the victim of one of the most savage acid attacks ever recorded in Colombia. In 2014 Natalia was lured to her door by neighbor Jonathan Vega pretending to be her ex where he launched his attack on her. It is said that he was obsessed with Natalia & annoyed that she wasn't interested in him. Following the attack Natalia was so fearful of a repeat attack that she took to wearing masks in the street in order to protect her face. However she stopped doing that in 2016 when a law that gave tougher sentences for acid attacks was put into place. The law was even named after Natalia which is a huge achievement & something she is very proud of. 2) Vineet Kumar It's not just women who are the victims of acid attacks. Vineet Kumar from East Delhi was just 25 when he was viciously attacked by his 24 year old girlfriend, Arti Dikshit. Arti was said to be fearful that he was about to desert her & not fulfill his promise of marriage. He sadly suffered 45% burns. 1) Katie Piper Katie's acid attack back in 2008 is probably one of the most famous & often featured in the media. Katie was a model & was hoping for a career in media before the devastating attack. The attack came about due to her ending her relationship with Danny Lynch. This enraged him so much that he arranged the attack & had his accomplice Stefan Sylvestre carry it out in the middle of the street. Thankfully the attack was caught on CCTV & both men were subsequently arrested & later sentenced to life in prison. Katie suffered horrendous injuries & was placed into an induced coma for 12 days. She underwent many operations & had to wear a mask for 23 hours a day. Katie has since become a figurehead for acid attack victims, she has appeared in several documentaries & a number of TV & radio shows to talk about her experience as well as releasing her autobiography. In 2009 she even launched her own charity called the Katie Piper Foundation aimed at raising awareness of burns victims. She is now happily married with a young daughter.
