She further added, "When things got out of hand and the situation got really ugly and I was into depression. A really bad one and I can’t express it.

If you want to end your life do it, I won’t regret or not stopping you. And if you want to live, then don’t turn and look back at your past. Just fight back, I am with you. This statement of his made me so strong that I never looked back."

"I was getting so many threats that he would kill me or destroy my career but after my father’s conversation with me, I gained so much strength that I stopped caring about anything. I did not even fear for my life. I had faced so many thing by then ki maut ka khauff he khatam hogaya tha. I felt kya Karoge maroge he na… chalo maar lo. My ex sent few boys with acid bottles in their hands and also tried to destroy my career. I was chased by a few boys with acid bottles in their hands. They were running behind me. People who do drugs on the streets were sent after me. I just pray to god that no female has to go through what I’ve suffered in my life," Akshara added.
