Young stars messing with their natural beauty, and spending tons of money
to look more appealing, and mature than their actual age.
By Ameya Goel
Consider Bollywood’s youngest trendsetters—Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor,
Suhana Khan, and Rasha Thadani. Though these gorgeous young ladies
have certainly inherited the filmi genes, their entry into cosmetic surgery
has raised eyebrows. It’s one thing to boost your natural beauty when you’re
in your 30s or 40s, but when you’re still in your teens or early 20s, the
question is: are they losing the natural elegance and charm that make
them special?
Janhvi and Khushi, both known for their gorgeous looks, have been linked to changing their appearances, with whispers of subtle fillers here and there. Suhana Khan, the social media queen, isn’t immune either, as rumors swirl about lip fillers, creating a perfect pout for her glossy Instagram feed. Rasha Thadani, younger than the others, is reportedly looking to follow the trend too. As if real beauty isn’t enough for the next gen!
But here’s the catch: these processes, while upgrading some features,
threaten to make them look the same as everyone else’s starlet out there.
Where’s individuality? Where’s that natural spark that makes you, you?
Shivani Arora, a 34-year-old freelance makeup artist, says, “I’ve been a professional makeup artist for over a decade, and I was recently in Mumbai.” I had a shoot with a young model. She was only 21, yet her face had an almost unreal smoothness, a cult jawline, and too big lips. It looked as if it were artificially altered. We got into a conversation where she mentioned
that she has undergone Botox, fillers, and some minor surgeries to enhance her face.”
Preeti Gera, a 26-year-old model, says that a version of herself had always
been felt by her to be waiting to come out. After the procedures, the way she
had always wanted to look is now felt to have been achieved. A significant
difference was made by her lip fillers—it was a small change, but her smilewas completely transformed. A much greater sense of confidence is now
felt by her, and it is believed to radiate through everything she does. While it
isn’t cheap, the cost was considered worth it by her. It is understood by her
that some people may feel the money is wasted, especially when lakhs (or
thousands of dollars) are spent on a temporary procedure. The treatment
was done at Kaya Clinic, Delhi, and around ₹40,000 was spent. But the
confidence gained by her is seen as priceless. It’s not about being changed,
but about having the features enhanced that make her feel good about
herself.
Also the average cost of lip fillers can range from ₹50,000- ₹2,00,000 per
session, depending on the clinic, the type of filler used, and the amount
needed. Some people may need touch-ups every six months, so the cost
can add up over time. In countries like India, the price may vary from
₹20,000 to ₹1,00,000 (or more) per session, depending on the clinic and
location.Clinics like Kaya and Medlinks may have more higher costs than
regular skin wellness centers.
In the end, we need to remember that beauty isn’t about achieving the
perfect look, no matter how glamorous. There’s something about the
youthful, untouched face that exudes authenticity. Let’s not rush into trends
just because it seems like the thing to do. After all, the true definition of
beauty is about confidence, charm, and knowing your worth—without the
need for a needle.
So, next time you scroll through Instagram and see a perfectly sculpted face,
pause and appreciate the untouched beauty of those who embrace their
imperfections, and honestly that’s where the true magic lies.
