I want to talk about something that affects us all—the poisonous nature of beauty standards in Bollywood and beyond. It has reached a point where it feels like a chain reaction: when someone gets nose surgery, they then get their breasts enlarged; when they change their jawline, they feel the need to lighten their skin.
We need to confront a harsh reality: the beauty that we often think is “God-gifted” has, for many, become “doctor-gifted”.
The Dangerous Obsession with Perfection
We look at Bollywood celebrities on social media and see perfect bodies, sharp jawlines, and flawless faces without a single blemish. We think, “I wish I had that nose” or “I wish I had that figure.” But the truth is, this beauty is often manufactured. The secret behind the timeless looks of celebrities in both Bollywood and Hollywood involves a long list of procedures: nose jobs, lip fillers, breast surgery, fat removal, Brazilian butt lifts (BBL), jawline augmentation, chin enhancement, facelifts, and Botox.
It is estimated that more than 90% of Bollywood actors and actresses have undergone cosmetic surgery, though very few openly admit it
Confessions and Speculations
Some brave celebrities have come forward. Shruti Hassan openly admitted to getting a nose job and lip fillers, stating her nose was broken and different before. Shilpa Shetty also accepted that she “fixed” her nose. Even Sridevi’s daughter, Khushi Kapoor, and reality star Rakhi Sawant have admitted to surgeries. Rakhi famously said, “What God doesn’t give, doctors give”.
However, many others remain silent despite drastic changes. For instance, if you look at Urvashi Rautela’s before-and-after photos, there are signs of rhinoplasty, lip fillers, and higher cheekbones, though she denies it. Similarly, actresses like Ayesha Takia and Mouni Roy are speculated to have undergone procedures.
It is not just women. Male actors face this pressure too. Rajkumar Rao admitted that he used fillers on his chin 8-9 years ago to feel more confident. Tiger Shroff is also speculated to have had work done. As Shruti Hassan noted, if an actress claims she hasn’t had surgery, she is likely lying because faces simply do not change that much naturally.
The Brutal Reality of the Procedures
Let’s break down what these surgeries actually entail. It isn’t as glamorous as the results look.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Job): This is one of the oldest surgeries in the world. It involves removing the skin layer of the nose, filing down the bone, and trimming or repositioning the cartilage. It is a gruesome process, and even today, there is a 5-10% chance of something going wrong, which can lead to breathing difficulties.
Botox: To hide wrinkles, celebrities use Botox, which is actually a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium Botulinum bacteria. While deadly in large amounts, small doses temporarily block nerve signals to paralyze muscles, making wrinkles disappear. Since it only lasts a few months, one must do it repeatedly to remain wrinkle-free.
Skin Lightening: Many actresses like Kajol, Priyanka Chopra, and Deepika Padukone had darker complexions at the start of their careers. While some claim it’s just “sun protection” or “drinking water,” the secret is often Glutathione injections
