In the glamorous world of Bollywood, it often seems that looking perfect is part of the job description. From constant media exposure to high beauty standards, there is no doubt to the fact that many celebrities rely on cosmetic surgery to improve and maintain their looks. But sometimes, these operations don’t work out as planned. Botched nose jobs, overdone fillers, even the biggest stars haven’t been immune to the harsh criticism.
Even though it is a taboo topic, many of these celebrities, now, speak openly about their surgery. Until recently, even after saying they had plastic surgery, some celebrities still try to be part of groups that cared a lot about looking perfect.
