Love explored
Laxmi:
“I hated men for a long time after that”
“Love was a word that unsettled me. That idea of love, the one that you get to watch in Bollywood films, haunted me. I would sing love songs but the words were hollow. They didn’t mean anything to me.”
“Alok was a breath of fresh air for me. I had been feeling suffocated and burdened. I felt he was ready to share the burden with me”.
Alok:
“I have immense respect for Laxmi. She is a tremendous life force. She chose to fight in the face of adversity when other victims like her were discouraged by families or were reluctant to come out of their homes”.
“She has instilled confidence in other young women who see her as a beacon of hope. She has compelled them to come out of the closet and face the world. Mind you, it’s not easy for them to face people staring at them which often reminds of the event that has altered their lives.”
