At just 2 months old, Anmol’s life began in unimaginable tragedy. Her father threw acid on her and her mother, an act of violence that claimed her mother’s life and left baby Anmol fighting for her own. The burns were so severe that doctors doubted she would survive.

But survive she did. Anmol spent the next five years of her life in the hospital, enduring surgeries and the relentless battle to stay alive. After her recovery, she found herself in an adoption shelter, where a childhood filled with bullying, rejection, and the cruel stares of others awaited her. The world seemed intent on convincing her she was less than whole—less than beautiful.

Yet, Anmol refused to accept that narrative.

Instead of hiding her scars, she embraced them. She shared her photos online, with all the imperfections and reminders of her past, and to her surprise, the response was not mockery or hate—it was love. People from around the world called her brave, beautiful, and inspiring. They saw the strength in her scars, the resilience that burned brighter than any acid ever could.

Today, at 26, Anmol is the founder of the Sahas Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping acid attack survivors reclaim their lives. She has become a voice of empowerment, not just for survivors, but for anyone who has ever felt less-than because of their appearance or circumstances.

Her message is powerful and simple:

“Acid can burn the face, but it cannot destroy the soul.”

From a life marked by tragedy, Anmol has transformed into a beacon of hope and courage. Her journey proves that even in the darkest of times, it is possible to rise, reclaim your power, and create something beautiful from the ashes of your past.
