Shweta
Tripathi
Sharma,
a
prominent
entertainment
figure,
has
showcased
her
heartfelt
support
for
acid
attack
survivors
in
a
truly
impactful
manner.
As
a
distinguished
panelist
at
an
event
to
mark
the
'Kshitij
Festival'
at
Mithibai
College,
she
engaged
in
discussions
that
illuminated
the
struggles
faced
by
these
survivors
while
also
underscoring
the
vital
need
for
raising
awareness
about
their
challenges.
During
this
event,
Shweta
eloquently
reflected,
"We,
as
a
society,
have
taken
considerable
time
to
discuss
this,
to
shine
a
light
on
this
crucial
subject.
Kudos
to
the
entire
team
of
'Kshitij'
for
championing
a
conversation
on
such
an
essential
topic.
We
often
expect
others
to
be
the
heroes,
but
in
reality,
'we'
must
be
our
own
heroes." The
panel
discussion,
of
which
Shweta
was
an
integral
part,
emerged
as
a
pivotal
platform
that
paved
the
way
for
fostering
a
healthier
society,
one
that
embraces
and
accepts
acid
attack
survivors.
In
a
profoundly
moving
gesture,
Shweta
visited
the
Sheroes
cafe
in
Lucknow,
an
establishment
entirely
managed
by
acid
attack
survivors.
Sharing
her
experience,
she
recounted,
"When
I
was
in
Lucknow,
I
was
compelled
to
visit
the
cafe.
We
often
live
in
our
own
bubbles,
believing
what
we
are
going
through
is
the
only
reality.
Stepping
out
of
that
bubble
to
witness
others'
experiences
is
essential.
When
I
revisited
Sheroes
cafe
while
researching
for
'Kaalkoot,'
I
had
a
brief
interaction
with
the
survivors.
I
realized
they
identified
themselves
as
survivors,
whereas
I
associated
them
with
the
term
'victims.'
This
distinction
is
crucial.
They
haven't
just
survived;
they've
triumphed
over
their
circumstances
and
continue
to
do
so
daily.
We
often
assume
certain
things
won't
happen
to
us,
but
it's
our
responsibility
to
ensure
no
one
suffers.
It's
not
just
our
actions
that
matter,
but
the
impact
we
have
on
those
around
us."
Shweta's
recent
portrayal
of
Parul,
an
acid
attack
survivor,
in
the
movie
"Kaalkoot" deeply
resonated
with
her.
She
expressed
her
appreciation
for
the
role,
stating,
"I
felt
grateful.
Such
roles
aren't
easy
to
come
by.
Parul
isn't
based
on
a
real
individual,
but
her
character
is
a
tribute
to
the
countless
girls
and
boys
we
encounter."
Approaching
Raksha
Bandhan,
Shweta's
decision
to
celebrate
it
with
acid
attack
survivors
underscores
the
universal
nature
of
protection.
She
shared
her
thoughts,
saying,
"Protection
should
transcend
religious,
class,
age,
and
creed
boundaries.
Being
able
to
protect
someone
is
a
beautiful
sentiment.
This
Raksha
Bandhan,
I
aim
to
focus
on
safeguarding
myself,
not
only
from
others,
but
from
my
own
thoughts
too.
It
starts
with
adopting
positive
thinking
and
healthy
habits."
Adding
to
the
excitement,
Shweta
offered
insights
into
her
upcoming
projects.
"I'm
set
to
begin
shooting
for
'Yeh
Kaali
Kaali
Aankhen'
season
2.
Additionally,
there's
'Mirzapur
3'
in
the
pipeline."
Shweta
Tripathi
Sharma's
authentic
actions
and
words
underscore
her
unwavering
commitment
to
driving
positive
change
and
raising
awareness
about
the
struggles
acid
attack
survivors
face.
