Malishka connected with photographer and visual artist Monica Dhaka, who is using the power of photography and visual storytelling to challenge how society looks at acid attack survivors through her project, Before You See the Scar. The project transforms close-up photographs of burnt skin into beautiful landscape-like visuals, encouraging people to look beyond the scars and question why physical appearance is often the first thing that defines these women in the eyes of society. Alongside these artistic images, Monica also showcases portraits of the survivors and shares their own words, allowing them to tell their stories in their own voices and on their own terms.

Through this conversation, Malishka explored the thought behind the project, Monica's experience of photographing acid attack survivors and the importance of changing the way society perceives them. The interaction highlighted that while scars may be a part of these women's journeys, they do not define their identities, aspirations or abilities. At a time when conversations around women's empowerment, dignity and equal opportunities are more important than ever, Malishka brought attention to a project that asks us to look beyond physical appearances and recognise these women for who they truly are. The conversation also encouraged listeners to explore Monica's work and support the initiative, reinforcing the message that every woman deserves respect, dignity and the opportunity to be seen beyond her scars.

Morning No. 1 Malishka

A jock that has been on air for more than 10 years. She is by far the most liked and most feared jock in the country. Over the last 10 years, Malishka has become one with Mumbai revolutionizing its Mornings. If she gets you laughing with her carefree conversations, she also makes you seriously change your perspective to act on issues concerning your life and city! Malishka is the youngest Radio Jockey in India to have won more than 10 awards.

Her fluent local style and delivery has been a trademark of Mumbais lingo. She has more followers on social media than any other jock. Malishka has an attitude that is completely “Bajatey Raho”. She doesn’t spare anyone on air, whether it is the Commisioner of Police or a celebrity who has done something wrong, in her own style. She calls PMO’s office and cracks a joke but immediately in the next link she calls the BMC officer to follow up on the city’s cause that concerns the listeners.

Along with this Malishka's show is known for helping the underprivileged through her programme “Bajao for a Cause”. She’s feisty yet sensitive with an ability to connect with anybody about anything. A jock with a unique perspective, she is the darling of the masses. As she always says “Ek baar listener ko commit kar diya, toh management ki bhi nahi sunungi” All in all, Malishka is the number 1 jock of India and the reasons are clearly written above.
