An acid attack survivor reaches out to Shah Rukh Khan after being denied of a bank account – See post | Hindi Movie News – NSP NEWS

An acid attack surovivor was recently denied of a bank account after she couldn’t ‘blink’ for the KYC process. She has now sought help from Shah Rukh Khan’s NGO for the same.
Taking to her Twitter handle, she wrote, ‘It’s my right too to be able to open a bank account. Being an acid attack survivor should not prohibit me from living a life with dignity.’

She further added, ‘It’s unjust that I was denied a bank account just because I can’t blink for the KYC process.

Requesting @iamsrk @MeerFoundation to help me make this world inclusive for all acid attack survivors’. he added the hashtag ‘I won’t blink’ to her tweet.

Not only this, Pragya has also filed an online petition highlighting the plight of acid attack survivors like her, who are denied access to important services such as opening a bank account just because the facial recognition software has its limitations.
She has brought the attention to the challenges faced by hundreds of thousands of people with facial disfigurements or eye problems that prevent them from being able to blink their eyes. According to her, this should not deny them economic equity and the right to open a bank account in their own name.
Shah Rukh, who is currently promoting his upcoming film, ‘Jawan‘, is yet to acknowlegde the tweet and react on the same.
