Acid Attack Victim Wins India's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Top Prize


Now and Before
The brave victim of an horrific acid attack as a teenager has won the jackpot on India's most popular TV quiz show.

Sonali Mukherjee was left completely disfigured by the attack which happened when she was just 17-years-old and her family have since spent all their money funding her treatment.
But the 27-year-old, from New Delhi, will be able to pay for another round of plastic surgery after scooping the top prize on India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Sonali, who was attacked by a  jilted lover and his friends, won Rs 25 lakhs - the equivalent of almost £30,000 - as she appeared on show with Bollywood actress and former Miss Universe Lara Dutta.

At some point she pleaded publicly to end her life. But changed her mind because euthanasia is illegal in the country, she decided not to remain silent and suffer.
