Priyanka Chahar Choudhary Addresses Cosmetic Surgery Speculation, Highlights Industry Pressures

Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, poised to star in the upcoming season of the supernatural drama *Naagin 7*, has publicly addressed persistent speculation surrounding potential cosmetic procedures. In an interview with Times of India TV, Choudhary directly responded to rumors, emphasizing personal choice and criticizing online harassment related to appearance.

Choudhary explained that her changing appearance over the past year was largely due to heavy medication, including antibiotics, which caused weight loss and facial bloating. She stated, "All these things have been happening for a long time. I was on medication throughout last year and was given very heavy doses of antibiotics, but most people don’t know that. It made me lose weight, but my face was bloated, even though people thought it was something else." She further asserted that any personal decisions to enhance her looks are her own prerogative and should not be subject to public scrutiny. "Everyone has the right to enhance their looks, and that is completely my choice. If I apply kajal or wear lenses, people start thinking I’ve done something to my face. Guys, this is my face and it has its own personality. It’s just a little touch-up or makeup. If you break it down as makeup, people still end up saying something, and that’s not right.”

Her comments highlight the intense pressure faced by actors in the entertainment industry to conform to specific beauty ideals. The constant media attention and social media scrutiny often lead to public speculation and judgment about their physical appearance. Choudhary specifically called out the insensitivity of online trolls, emphasizing the potential harm such comments can inflict, especially on individuals less equipped to handle public criticism. "I want to say one thing to everyone—there are certain aspects of appearance that you should never comment on. Only comment on something that can be fixed in ten seconds. If you say someone’s hair is messy, it can be fixed quickly. But commenting on someone’s height or body isn’t right. It’s wrong to comment on anyone’s appearance because it creates insecurity. I may not get affected by it, but I know many people do. They won’t say it out loud, but they feel it inside. I have friends who are short, and even though they don’t complain, I know they struggle and feel conscious. That’s why such comments are not okay and people should stop doing this.”

Choudhary's upcoming role in *Naagin 7* marks a significant step in her career. She gained considerable recognition for her role in the Colors TV drama *Udaariyaan*. *Naagin*, a long-running and highly successful supernatural franchise, is known for its strong female leads and dramatic storylines. This role offers Choudhary a platform to further solidify her position in the Indian television industry. The *Naagin* series has consistently performed well in terms of viewership, making it a commercially valuable property for both the network and the actors involved. Her participation in this franchise underscores her growing popularity and potential for future success.

Beyond her acting career, Choudhary has also been involved in other projects, including music videos like "Dost Banake," demonstrating her versatility as a performer. Her public statements about body image and online harassment align with a growing trend of celebrities using their platform to advocate for greater awareness and sensitivity regarding these issues.
