Laxmi Agarwal had acid thrown on her face in 2005, when she was just 16. She braved the burns and became an anti-acid attack activist. Laxmi fell in love with fellow activist Alok Dixit and the two got into a relationship in 2014.

In March this year, their daughter Pihu was born. The baby girl has transformed their life for the better. “She has given us something to look forward to in life,” says Laxmi.
