Khushi gets candid about cosmetic work

According to The Indian Express, Khushi Kapoor openly admitted to undergoing cosmetic procedures, emphasising that actors should be honest about their choices instead of selling false hope.

At SCREEN Live in New Delhi, The Archies star reflected on the impact of beauty standards and shared how being constantly compared to her sister Janhvi Kapoor and late mother Sridevi affected her self-esteem as a child. "It's a vicious cycle. When I was a young girl, I was made fun of how I looked. I didn't look like my mother or sister. That takes a hit on your self esteem," she revealed.

However, she firmly stated that beauty enhancements are a personal choice, not an obligation. "Of course, I haven't done the hundred things that people have said that I have done, but it is a part of taking care of yourself," she clarified, adding, "I don't think it should be something someone should be scrutinised for."

Khushi also called for honesty in the industry, highlighting the damage caused by unrealistic beauty ideals. "If you are looking at an airbrushed image online or pictures of someone who has obviously gotten something done and they are denying it, then as an impressionable person, you wonder - why can't I look like that all the time?" she explained.

On the work front, the starlet is set to appear opposite Ibrahim Ali Khan, the son of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, in his much anticipated acting debut in Netflix film Nadaaniyan.

Backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, the film's release date is yet to be confirmed. In addition to Nadaaniyan, Ibrahim has two more projects in the pipeline - Sarzameen and Diler - both poised to further highlight his acting prowess.
