Khushi Kapoor accepts going under the knife, says ‘I was not born like this’: ‘People are just afraid to admit it’
Actor Khushi Kapoor talks about the choice of getting work done to look better, and opens up about her own cosmetic procedures.

There is always a huge debate regarding celebrities that undergo cosmetic procedures to look better and younger, or just to look different. While there are many who speak against it and many who refuse to talk about it entirely, newcomer Khushi Kapoor brings a level of maturity to this conversation that is worth praise. The Nadaaniyan actor talked candidly about how the industry and expectations of the fans work and said that if someone wishes to get work done, it is their choice, and they should do what suits them.
While talking to TOI, she was asked about her views were on the artificial enhancement of one’s looks, and the actor admitted that she herself has been under the knife and people should have the right to choose whatever they want. She talked about changing her looks and how she has always tried to be honest and open about whatever she is getting done. While some might think that a medical procedure is very personal, Khushi believes that celebrities need to acknowledge the amount of young and impressionable fans that look up to them, and hence they should be honest in order to avoid creating unrealistic beauty standards.
She admitted that being a celebrity comes with many banes, as people choose to judge someone in the public light no matter what they do. Khushi added that the people who question her decisions to undergo cosmetic treatment would have judged her regardless of her decision. The 24-year-old stated that there is no real way to win in these kinds of discussions, so to have peace of mind, one should own up to their decision and worry less about what people will say. In a previous interview with CurlyTales, the actor had talked about the same topic and shared her opinion about taking certain decisions about her looks.
The Loveyapa actor said, “I don’t think it’s such a big deal. The main issue is that people are scared that they will get hate if they come out and admit it. People think that the term ‘plastic’ is the biggest insult you can give someone, but I don’t think it’s bad if someone gets work done and stuff like that.” She again doubled up on the importance of being honest about your looks and said that getting work done and lying about it is “unfair to younger girls who look up to you, because then they think, ‘Oh, I don’t look like that; why can’t I?”
The debate around cosmetic treatments and anti-ageing health supplements gained momentum recently after the death of actor Shefali Jariwala. According to police reports, Shefali was using anti-ageing medication and therapies, something which is still being investigated as a potential reason for her demise.
