She writes that she still deals with complications and suffers due to her surgeries. She reveals that she can’t stretch her neck sometimes as the grafted skin causes her a lot of pain.

In one of her tweets, Rangoli spoke about the need for reservation for acid attack survivors.

(Contd)..I stopped following the case, why not death sentence for these people? Beauty was the last thing I cared about I was university topper but best years of my youth went in operation theatres, even though I had 90 percent burn still no reservation for acid survivors (contd)
