Priyanka Chopra, Khushi Kapoor; actors who have spoken about plastic surgeries

Several celebrities have openly discussed their experiences with plastic surgery, sharing their personal choices and the challenges they faced. Priyanka Chopra, Shruti Haasan, Shilpa Shetty, Khloé Kardashian, Cardi B, and Khushi Kapoor have spoken about their journeys, ranging from corrective procedures to aesthetic enhancements. Their stories highlight self-acceptance and personal freedom in making such decisions.

In her memoir Unfinished, Priyanka Chopra revealed that she battled depression after a botched nose surgery in the early 2000s. The procedure, originally intended to remove a polyp, drastically altered her appearance, resulting in lost film roles and emotional distress. During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, she shared how her father supported her through corrective surgeries. Despite facing media scrutiny and being labeled "Plastic Chopra," she chose to focus on her career while gradually accepting her new look.

Shruti Haasan has been vocal about undergoing a nose job and lip augmentation, asserting that it was her personal choice. In an interview with Hindustan Times, she spoke about the pressures of conforming to beauty standards and admitted to undergoing non-surgical treatments as well. In an Instagram post, she emphasized body autonomy, urging people to embrace self-love. She neither advocates for nor opposes plastic surgery but insists that it should remain a personal decision.

Shilpa Shetty has candidly admitted to getting a nose job, stating that she did it because she felt her nose "could be better." She first spoke about it in a Seedhi Baat interview in the early 2000s, a time when such confessions were rare among celebrities. She also addressed it in The Real Shilpa Shetty, a documentary that followed her Celebrity Big Brother victory. Shilpa does not consider herself conventionally beautiful but prioritizes fitness and self-care.

Khloé Kardashian shared before-and-after images of her facial fillers after undergoing surgery to remove a melanoma tumor from her cheek. She explained, "Because of the surgery and the tumor my great doctor took out, I had a dent on the side of my face." To ensure medical safety, she waited nine months before getting fillers to correct the indentation. She later shared on Snapchat, "We needed to make sure everything was okay medically, and my doctor gave me the all-clear."

Cardi B revealed that she sought advice from Kim Kardashian after a failed nose filler procedure in 2019 left her nose looking "longer and wider." On The Jason Lee Show, she explained that she initially opted for fillers, believing it to be a non-surgical alternative to reducing her nose size. Kim Kardashian provided her with a list of surgeons, and after consulting several, Cardi underwent rhinoplasty in 2020. Defending her decision, she said, "I look great... If I want to correct something, I'm gonna do it."

Khushi Kapoor openly admitted to getting cosmetic procedures. When a user commented on her changed appearance in an old video featuring her mother, Sridevi, Khushi responded, "@archivekhushii lip filler and (nose emoji) hahaha." Her honesty was well-received, with many appreciating her transparency and confidence in embracing her choices.
