On International Yoga Day, Kangana Ranaut opens up about her sister Rangoli Chandel’s acid attack. She talked about the incident and said how yoga helped her in overcoming the mental and psychological damage caused due to the attack. Rangoli had 53 surgeries.

Talking about the incident, Kangana Ranaut shared the picture of her sister Rangoli Chandel and wrote,

“Rangoli has the most inspiring Yoga story, a road side 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 every thing.”

Kangana Ranaut also told that Rangoli Chandel was engaged to an Air Force Officer, but the person left her after the acid attack. She added,

“She was engaged to an Air Force officer and when he saw her face after the acid attack he left and never returned, even then she did not shed a tear neither she uttered a word, doctors told me she is in a state of shock, they gave her therapies and put her on medication for psychiatric help but nothing helped.”

Kangana wrote that she was just 19 and wanted Rangoli to speak to her. Hence she took her sister to the Yoga classes. She added how yoga helped in her healing physically as well as psychologically. Kangana added,

“That time I was hardly 19 years old, I did yoga with my teacher Surya Narayan and had no idea that it could help patients with burns and psychological traumas also with retina transplant recovery and lost vision … I desperately wanted her to talk to me, so I took her every where with me even to my Yoga classes. She started practising Yoga and I saw dramatic transformation in her. Not only she started to respond to her pain and my lame jokes but also regained her lost vision in one eye ….. Yoga is the answer to every question ( misery) you will ever have, did you give it a chance yet? #internationalyogaday”
