Losing all their hair is an unthinkable nightmare for most young girls in their teens. Tragically, a freak accident made this dreaded nightmare a reality for 18-year-old Pramila Chikne last year. The teenager, who was blessed with lustrous black hair that grazed her knees, lost it all in a matter of minutes, along with her scalp. The young girl is now undergoing treatment at a hospital in Navi Mumbai.

While her hair may not come back, Pramila will be undergoing ear reconstruction surgery at DY Patil Hospital in Nerul. She will also undergo eyebrow reconstruction surgery
