Initially, it might seem that this touching video of an acid attack survivor, Reshma Banoo Qureshi, getting a makeover is an attempt to cover her scars. Instead, it highlights one simple fact: girls generally like getting makeovers.
The eighteen-year-old Mumbai dweller was reportedly attacked by her brother-in-law and a couple of other men in Allahabad while visiting her sister. Reshma does not explain why she was attacked in the video, but has described the experience as one that "burnt everything away, along with her face."
Reshma is seen smiling in the video at the thought of her makeover (organised by beauty channel Blush in collaboration with website Make Love Not Scars (a movement that brings awareness about acid attack survivors and showcases their talents and strengths)), and claims that once done, she "would look prettier than Katrina Kaif.
