In 2014, Reshma Qureshi’s face was brutally disfigured after her brother-in-law and his friends assaulted her and threw acid on her face. After going through a tough phase in her life, it’s her association with the NGO Make Love Not Scars, that restored her confidence and she became the face of the #EndAcidSale.
And this year, the gorgeous girl’s been invited to walk the runway on September 8 by FTL Moda–known for its diverse catwalk–at the New York Fashion Week.
