The lady in this video is Nasreen, a resident of Lucknow. She has a life full of trials and tribulations. First, she was put up for adoption. Her stepmother did not love her at all. She felt as if she was motherless. After all these years of reluctant rearing, she was finally put up for marriage. It was just like a lamb being put forth for slaughter. The final straw was that her husband was a loser, who burnt her with acid.
From day one her marriage was on the rocks. She tried again and again to revive her marriage and make it work, but in vain.
She persuaded her parents to find out a way to solemnize her marriage.
But her father’s reply was shocking and inhuman. He said that the status
of a woman is nothing. If your husband leaves you, you will be
abandoned by one and all.
Acid Attack Changed Her Life
She left for home and got the biggest scar of her life. Why? All she had wanted was the custody of her two daughters when she filed for divorce.The real pain was not the hellish life she spent with her husbands. Her struggle reached its peak when she had to actually fight for life post attack.
She was abandoned by her near and dear ones. Those who tried to shelter her were threatened with dire results from the community. She was half-burnt, so no hospital would admit her. The stench from her body was unbearable so nobody would come near her. She had to stay in a weathered house, and ants would gnawing her skin. Nasreen died each day, but her will was not broken.
She remembers saying her doctor to bury her in case she did not make it.
But she survived. She survived long enough to narrate her stories on the popular MTV show Roadies.
Well, that’s a lot she faced. She is an iron lady. Nasreen, we salute you for your courage. Have a look at Nasreen’s audition in this Roadies Video.
