26/11 Mumbai attack

"People around me were frustrated, panicked and dead scared. Some of them even wanted to try escaping under the nose of the terrorists." #Respect #RealLifeHeroine

In an exclusive interview with The Better India, Divya narrates how 26/11 changed not just the lives of those inside hijacked spaces, but also their loved ones who watched the horror unfurl on their television sets.

"We are in the CCTV room [on] the third floor of Taj hotel. Terrorists are in room number 631. They came to the fifth floor also. We fired at them, so they went back to the sixth. I have 3-4 people with me. DCP Rajwardhan is also here. Please send assault teams,"
