Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is known for supporting acid attack victims through his Meer Foundation, urges his fans to lend support to such brave survivors. The "Baazigar" actor on Wednesday took to his Instagram to upload a video sharing a powerful message for all.

In the video, he is seen saying, "Beauty is not skin deep, is often said but not really felt. We all need well, but we look away, we shy away from looking at things that are unpleasant, yet we want social acceptance for ourselves, we discriminate from inside, yet we fight for empowerment, yes we all need well, but we do look away."
