Splashing Out On Beauty

By Shilpi Shukla Alexander

Ever wondered how all Bollywood actresses manage to look hotter and more appealing with every successive movie? We’re sure you do. The mantra for these Hot Divas of Bollywood is that a perfect look can be gotten, if you haven’t got it!

From head to toe our Bollywood actresses are kept under microscope and probably that is what makes them crave for that ‘ideal body’ with ‘just right features’!

In earlier days, actresses shied away from talking about their ‘artificial enhancements’ but today it has become a fad more than anything else!

Let’s have a dekko at the much-in-vogue trend…

Shilpa Shetty:

By now everyone knows that Shilpa has had her nose job done. We must say, this leggy beauty looks far better today! But the actress believes that it was a horrible job that went wrong. “I wish I hadn’t gone for a nose job. Little did I know about the consequences then,” says the Big Brother winner. Well ma’am, we beg to differ. Check yourself in Baazigar and now.. 

Don’t you look much better and much more desirable now? Ask your fans for clearing doubts, if any. What’s more, off late, she has also undergone liposuction too.

Bipasha Basu:

The latest in the lot, Bipasha too went for silicone implants when she decided to enter Bollywood after bidding good-bye to the modelling world. A voluptuous Bipasha in Jism surprised all. However, the actress owed her sex appeal to her ‘excess weight’! This Bengali dusky beauty has had silicon implants as well as liposuction done on her belly and thighs. Watched Bips in that sexy beach wear in Dhoom II? When the actress was sued by a cosmetologist for not paying him his money for the surgery she had undergone, most people were not surprised!

What most people did not know was that Bips who was operated at Lilavati Hospital suddenly developed back pain post the surgery. Apparently her back could not bear the burden of the excessive silicon implants. Well, they must have weighed a bomb, Bips.

Kareena Kapoor:

Bebo’s size-zero figure makes many go berserk. She looks dazzling and her weight loss is responsible for it no doubt. However, grapevine has it that Kareena has to gone under the knife to get her chiselled jaw line!

Another lesser known fact of this sexy actress is that she has also had cellulite removed from her buttocks. The famous backside had to be cut into shape to give the perfect ‘backside’ view. Besides, she also had her teeth aligned.

Sushmita Sen:

This sari-clad Ms Gorgeous of Main Hoon Na was probably the first actor to admit that she had gone for silicon implants to enhance her breasts. This former Miss Universe in her trademark feisty style defended her move by saying that she was proud of what she had done since it wasn’t a crime to enhance one’s beauty! “I have a right to look the way I want to. Enhancing one’s beauty is no felony for sure,” says the sultry actress, “And I don’t need to hide this fact either.”

Preity Zinta:

Preity’s changed look has taken her fans and admirers by surprise! The chubby and chunky, cute girl of Kya Kehna and Dil Se looked extremely transformed  in Kabhie Alvida Na Kehnaa with her high eyebrows, puffy eyes and extra pouty lips! The actress looked gorgeous no doubt but her undergoing liposuction and face-lift news spread like wild fire! When asked about the same Preity replied, “To each his own! I don’t see anything wrong with people who go for cosmetology to look better.”
Not many are aware that this highly structured face work done left marks on her face gripping her to put on intense make-up in KANK.

The laughter lines were surgically removed post the shooting of Salaam Namaste. The bubbly actress had to stay away from all promotion as her face could not be exposed to harsh lights. So, if you recall, only Saif gave interviews for the promotional campaign.

Koena Mitra:

A minor corrective surgery, meant to sharpen an already pert nose that won Koena Mitra the Supermodel contest, went horribly wrong! The stunning actor who looked good before the surgery looked terrible post it! This is what the actress has to say post surgery — “Plastic surgery is the worst kept secret of any film industry – Bollywood, Hollywood, you name it. But it’s a huge gamble. Parents go to doctors with their 16-year-olds and say, “She wants to become a model or an actress, but she has some baby fat, can we do this surgery to make her look perfect?” Yes, it’s been successfully before. But it’s also scary, ask me!”

Sherlyn Chopra:

Starlet Sherlyn Chopra has openly confessed that she has gone for a butt surgery to enhance her butt! May be Jennifer Lopez was an inspiration!
Post the surgery, the sexy wannabe is posing in all photographs with her ass on your face look rather than showing us her face. She has reasons to do so…

Esha Deol:

Hema Malini’s daughter Esha unfortunately wasn’t as blessed with beauty as her mom. Instead, she got the masculine appeal like that of her father Dharmendra. She had no other option but to get her square jawline and slumped lips rectified. In recent times, she also had her upper lip improved as she felt her thin lips skint her looks. This was done when she enrolled for a dance course in the US where she got her lips corrected by a cosmetologist. Of late, she has really started looking quite hot and… so feminine. Watch Cash and Darling. 

Rakhi Sawant:

Now this actress really wanted her assets to talk for themselves. Since she did not have them, she danced at various doctor conventions and ensured that she got her silicon implants. After jiggling at various item songs, Rakhi probably got tired of them.

The candid item girl (who’s now dreaming to enter th world of acting as a lead heroine soon) confessed on national television that she has undergone breast augmentation, botox to remove frown lines and collagen infections to improve her looks. Ranting about her new looks, she said, “Jo bhagwan nahin deta hai, wo doctor deta hai (doctor gives what God doesn’t give). Last we heard her saying, all things come in small sizes and she has had the implants removed.

Sridevi:

Sridevi (in her earlier days) apparently wasn’t happy with her nose and went under the knife to get it in shape. The superstar never admitted her move but her change in appearance made it inevitable for her fans to know the truth. Watch her childhood movies and then her later movies like Sadma and you could well notice the difference. We know that as we grow, a de-shaped nose, doesn’t turn pert. In her case, just within 3-4 years!!

Juhi Chawla:

She had a face that won her the Miss India crown, but Juhi was not happy with her button nose. The actress went under the scalpel and till date says that it was her worst nightmare. The nose, according to her, looks like a corkscrew now. “I should not have played with my natural looks. I wish I hadn’t,” she sighs. Well, the result of the surgery was not that bad either, Juhi. Check out Koena, if you must.
