She was then asked about her decision to publicly speak about her cosmetic surgery experience, and she 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. I just feel like there’s going to be hate either way. 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.”

Khushi added, “The issue is when people enhance themselves cosmetically and say that, ‘I woke up like this and I am completely natural’, because then you are setting an unrealistic standard of beauty. It’s unfair to younger girls who look up to you and then they think, ‘Oh, I don’t look like that, why can’t I?’ But, it’s because so much effort has gone into it – you have a team, facials, this and that. There are so many things for skin care that you can do to look a certain way and not everyone knows that.”

Khushi said that actors should be honest to their fans, instead of giving false hopes – “You might as well be honest because people are going to not like you for some or the other reason. And, I didn’t want it to be like, ‘Oh, she has come out and said it’. That’s why I just replied to a random comment, I don’t think it should be a big deal.”

Khushi said that she also didn’t want to fuel speculation about her appearance by lying. “I understand where other people are coming from because I was scared for a while as well. I thought they were already saying ‘plastic’ and that I have done things I have not done, so if I say the one or two things I have done, will they hate me even more because I have admitted it? When you think about it, it’s not a big deal. I am still the same person, it really doesn’t matter,” said the Archies actor.

In the same interview, Khushi also opened up about her weight loss and said, “I was a bit heavier when I was younger. I think I lost weight especially during the prep for Archies because we were doing cycling, skating, swimming, dancing, everything we could possibly be training for, we were doing then.”

Khushi Kapoor will next be seen in Advait Chandan’s Loveyapa, alongside Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan. The film will hit theatres on February 7.
