Rajkumar Rao, who recently sparked plastic surgery rumours after his photos from Diljit Dosanjh’s concert wet viral has come forward to put an end to the controversy.
As reported by The Hindustan Times, Rao explained, “It is not plastic surgery, I found this debate very funny, I also looked at that particular image. That image looks too clean to be true, I don't have that kind of flawless skin. It felt touched up, I genuinely believe that. I started looking like a K Pop star."
The Bareli Ki Barfi actor went on to explain, "I have lines, I am not a 21-year-old guy anymore. Having said that, people intially used to comment on my looks. When I was starting out as an actor, a lot of people, casting, production, would say 'you won't be able to play the lead parts, you don't have what it takes."
He continued, "There has to be a certain look of a part'. Eight-nine years back, after Kai Po Che!, I went to a dermatologist for the first time, I didn't even know these things exist."
While reflecting on how Raj Kumar Rao got into filler, he told, "I got introduced to all this. She said 'your face is imbalanced', and it was true, my chin was slightly low. I used a little bit of filler and I actually felt the difference. Suddenly people started telling me 'you are so confident'. Then films like Stree, Badhaai Do happened.”
He added, “I thought it was fine. It's my life, my face. If something medicinal is available, why not? If something gives me confidence, I would rather do it. A lot of people go in for hair transplants. As long as you don't do it in an extreme way and start looking different."
Rajkummar Rao's will be next seen in his latest film Srikanth Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne.
