Pretty woman: Truly inspiring photo-shoot of acid attack victims

Beauty is only skin-deep.

And who really is beautiful? Someone who is brave, inspiring, confident and someone who emerged victorious through the biggest challenge in life.

An Indian photographer Rahul Saharan did a shoot for a designer, who is an acid-attack victim, with the other survivors of the same crime.

The photo-shoot includes five young Indian acid attack victims photographed by Rahul Saharan in Rupa's clothing collection, called Rupa Designs.

These acid attack survivors used to hide their face have now bravely posed for the fashion photo shoot.

Posting some of the photographs from the shoot on his Facebook page, Saharan wrote, "A photoshoot for acid attack survivours one of them is designer herself her name is Rupa she is in white dress others are Laxmi, Ritu, Sonam, chanchal.

"Inspite of taking professional models we took these bful girls as models bcz they define beauty, courage, postiveness, there is so much to beauty and these girls are strong enough to show that these girls love to get photographed i mean they are jst crazy for it v happy to work for dem wid dem  thanx to Ritika Vats too for making these dolls look mre bful wid her hairdo.

Rise and shine.

"There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness... lets bring smile of some faces."

He also urges the viewers to help Rupa fulfil her dream of opening her boutique.

Not surprisingly, Saharan and Rupa both have been praised for their work.

Thus, this photo shoot is probably one of the most beautiful things you will see on the internet today.
