A man whose entire face was ripped off by a tiger as he slept has finally spoken out after 23 years of "hiding behind a mask".
Hashmot Ali, 45, was left severely disfigured after he was savaged by the animal while out on a boat in the mangrove forests of Bangladesh.
The dad-of-three has lived a life of seclusion since the attack, confining himself to his own village for fear of judgement from outsiders.
But now he will make an eight-hour journey to the country's capital of Dhaka in search of life-changing surgery.
Hashmot said: "I desperately need to get my deformed face fixed.
"I feel it's very important that I get my looks back to normal.
“I want to live my life with pride. I don't want to hide behind this mask anymore.
"I have done enough hiding, now I want to live with joy with my kids.”
