My Husband Changed my Life for Ever...A Comeback story of Shirin
by Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala on Sunday, January 1, 2012 at 4:40pm
The Juwaleys are a big name in Kokani circle. But this is the story of a Juwaley who towers the rest of the Juwaleys. It is a story that burnt the India media for days. Shirin Juwaley an innocent young bride who was the victim of a criminal act of the highest order, when her husband threw acid on her face , perhaps with the intention to disfigure her forever. Well he did succeed in disfiguring her face, to some extent but failed to make any lasting impact on her indomitable spirit. The marriage took place on Valentine day, says Shirin on her wordpressblog "My husband Changed my Life Forever".
Her marraige took place in 1998 and within a few months the girl asked for a divorce. One day her husband threw acid on her face and fled off abroad. It was a third degree burn on the face . The features were destroyed but the eyes were miraculously saved. She was hospitalised for almost two months and every day she underwent painful swabbing of fluids from her wounds.It was a painful dressing every day. It was hard to believe that she had lost her face and will have to live without a face for the rest of the lilfe.
It was difficult to adjust with the new way of life. Adults and kids used to get panicked upon seeing her. She was denied entry at the McDonald’s in Fort because of the way she looked.The young lady preffered to stay at home and even deprieved fresh her to herself to avoid people. For two years she stayed at home inactive. Then she decided to get up take charge of her life and she took.
Shirin had to undergo almost 16 surgeries to recover a lot of past normalcy. 16 surgeries is not a small number, and one of them in the US. On returning back, she started Palash, her support group for burn victims. “We are not here to counsel, but when we go to the victims at Sion Hospital, we just hold their hands. At that time, fighting rejection, guilt, and extreme physical and mental pain, all they want is just a touch of empathy,” she says, adding, “It is the only way to rehabilitation.”

Do you want to know why am I writing this note ? Now look back at the title again....and see the two perspective of the incident...Shirin has got remarried to a young man who holds a good and a senior post in a multinational company.I was really dumb with no words to thank my loving friend Raza khan when he informed me that he has married this lady. We pray to Allah that may He make her happy and bless the couple in this world and the hereafter, and I congrajulate Raza Khan with this Quranic verse : Good is for those who do good in this world and more in the hereafter.. Surah Yunus... ameen.. After all it is really difficult to pass the acid test.
