Actress Kriti Sanon candidly addressed the pressures surrounding physical appearance in the entertainment industry, particularly the use of Botox and cosmetic surgery. She emphasized the significant impact these treatments have on young people and expressed a non-judgmental stance toward those who choose to undergo such procedures.
Sanon highlighted the reality of cosmetic enhancements, noting, “People are doing treatments before coming into this world. I don’t judge it at all. I think, to each their own. If you feel more confident by changing some part of yourself, it’s up to you.” She reinforced that the decision to alter one’s appearance should be a personal choice, with individuals accepting the consequences that may arise from it. “It’s your life, your body, your face. Do what you want,” she stated.
Despite her understanding of others’ choices, Sanon is concerned about the societal pressure it creates for young girls. “I don’t want young girls to start feeling the pressure of not looking perfect all the time. Nobody looks perfect all the time; I don’t look perfect all the time,” she remarked. She encouraged a critical reflection on social media habits, asking, “When are you ever putting a photo that doesn’t have a filter? You have to understand what this is doing to you.”
When probed about whether this pressure leads to anxiety, Sanon responded, “No, I think I’d be lying. Every person in a profession based on vanity wants to look good, and there are moments of disappointment, like when I wake up with a pimple before a shoot. But it doesn’t make me feel insecure to the point of needing to change anything. Firstly, it’s too late to change anything. I have been here for 10 years.”
The conversation about cosmetic procedures in Bollywood has gained momentum, especially following recent discussions about Alia Bhatt, who faced rumors regarding a botched Botox job that allegedly resulted in facial paralysis. Bhatt publicly condemned the trolls targeting her appearance in an impassioned Instagram post.
Sanon’s insights shed light on the ongoing dialogue about beauty standards and self-acceptance in an industry where appearances often take center stage.
