Parul Yadav started off as a model and has acted in Tamil, Kannada and Bollywood films.
The attack will surely start the debate about the dangers of stray dogs in India. Stray Dogs are a menace in most Indian cities; though the local authorities undertake sterilization of dogs, its not a fool-proof method of stopping dog-bites.
