Shah Rukh Khan supports acid attack victims through Meer foundation

Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has set up a foundation to help the acid attack victims. His foundation named Meer extends support to acid attack female survivors and provides medical treatment, legal aid, vocational training, rehabilitation and livelihood support. The superstar has also urged his fans to lend support to such brave survivors.

Now the Badshah’s Meer Foundation has joined hands with Vogue and the magazine is helping create awareness for the acid attack victims in India.

The ‘Raees’ star on Wednesday took to his Instagram handle to upload a video sharing a powerful message for all.

In the video, he is seen saying, “Beauty is not skin deep, is often said but not really felt. We all need well, but we look away, we shy away from looking at things that are unpleasant, yet we want social acceptance for ourselves, we discriminate from inside, yet we fight for empowerment, yes we all need well, but we do look away.”
