A 21-year-old woman consumed acid in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh after her husband allegedly did not allow her to watch the Shah Rukh Khan's latest movie 'Happy New Year'.
According to Hindustan Times, the incident took place on Sunday, and reportedly her husband went to watch the movie alone.
The woman was rushed to a district hospital after which she was referred to a hospital in Gwalior and is currently battling for her life, said the report.
The husband allegedly cited the heavy Sunday crowd to turn down her request to watch the film.
Upset by the refusal, she allegedly consumed a bottle of acid.
The woman’s internal organs have been damaged by the acid.
The film, which also features Deepika Padukone, was premiered in Dubai on Oct 22.
'Happy New Year' has broken the first day India box office collection record set by 'Dhoom 3' in 2013.
Released during the Diwali holiday, the multi-starrer collected $7.3 million (Rs450 million) in India on Friday.
'Dhoom 3' earned $5.9m (Rs360m) on its opening day during the 2013 Christmas holidays.
'Happy New Year', directed by Farah Khan, also features Boman Irani, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Jackie Shroff and Vivaan Shah. The movie released in theatres on October 24.
