Indian Woman Disfigured By Acid Attack Weds Man She Met After Dialing Wrong Number

Indian Woman Disfigured By Acid Attack Marries Man She Met On Misdialed Call This is a really sweet and heartwarming story. An Indian woman named Lalita Ben Bansi had her bridal dreams come true last week when she wed her true love Ravi Shankar at the Thane registration office near Mumbai on May 23rd. Lalita suffered horrific facial burns five years ago when her hatin’ azz cousin threw acid in her face five years ago. She’s been through 17 surgeries since then but was blessed to meet Shankar after she misdialed a phone call! Via Life & Style reports: “I didn’t know a wrong number would set everything right in my life,” Bansi said, according to British newspaper Metro . “I am feeling very happy. I had never thought that I would ever get married. He has a big heart and a beautiful mind.” ‘He knew everything about me and was well aware of my looks, but he still kept on his promise to marry me. I am so proud to have a partner like him.’ Their love hasn’t been without its obstacles, but Ravi, who works as a CCTV operator and owns a petrol pump (gas station?) was determined to make Lalita happy. “I had to only convince my mother to accept my choice. I had to make Lalita believe that she too had the right to a better life,” he said. “Her heart is pure and that is what matters the most.” Ravi even says he’s happy to settle down in Ranchi (where his petrol pump is) or Mumbai, whichever Lalita wants! Super sweet love story right? And the wedding was even star studded! According to reports, several Bollywood stars attended including Vivek Oberoi, who met Lalita at an event for acid attack survivors. We’re not sure whether we are more heart warmed by them, or the fact that the evil cousin’s plot totally backfired and Lalita came up even better than before. She’s got a great man and famous friends! Isn’t it great to see someone blessed after such terrible misfortune? Getty Images

Elsewhere In The World: Woman And Her Baby Bleed To Death On The Side Of The Road While Motorists Pass Them By

Jesus take the wheel… Mother And Infant Child Bleed To Death On Roadside As Drivers Pass By A wife and mother of two young children has sadly lost her life along with her infant son after they were struck by a truck while riding on a family motorcycle inside of a highway tunnel in Jaipur, India. via  Hindustan Times In a shocking case of public apathy, a man lay on the road crying for help inside a tunnel next to the bodies of his wife and infant daughter with nobody stopping by for around 40 minutes after a speeding truck hit his motorcycle. The 26-year-old woman and the eight-month-old infant who were run over by the truck died inside the newly opened Ghat Ki Guni tunnel in Jaipur on Sunday while the man and his son escaped with minor injuries. Police said the injured husband kept crying for help for around 40 minutes but the motorists ignored their cries and every vehicle passed by without stopping delaying prompt medical treatment. CCTV footages showed that the woman’s husband and his four-year-old son beseeched passers-by for help for almost 10 minutes. However, no one stopped to help them, police said. The accident victims were attended to only when a staffer of a toll booth noticed the crying husband and his son inside the tunnel on a CCTV monitor. “Kanhaiya Lal along with his 26-year old wife Guddi, four-year- old son Tanish and eight-month-old Arushi was on his way to in-laws’ house in Luniawas village from their house in Thikariya village yesterday when a speeding truck hit their motorcycle 300 metres inside the tunnel,” police said on Monday. Apparently, it’s common for a family of four to travel on a two-wheeler in this country, although travel through this particular tunnel is banned. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this family.
