Actor Priyanka Chahar Choudhary has addressed the recent speculation surrounding her appearance, emphasizing that personal choices regarding one’s looks are entirely individual.
In an interview with The Times of India, Priyanka opened up about the rumours of undergoing cosmetic procedures. She clarified that last year she had been on heavy medication, including strong doses of antibiotics, which caused weight loss and facial bloating—factors that led to public assumptions about her appearance.
“All these things have been happening for a long time,” Priyanka said. “As for small things, that’s okay. 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.”
The actor also spoke about dealing with online trolling, stressing that personal appearance is a private matter and should not attract insensitive comments. “What’s the problem in that? It’s your choice. It’s your face and it’s completely up to you. Even if someone thinks it’s bad, it’s still your call. People become very insensitive sometimes, and that shouldn’t happen,” she added.
Priyanka first gained widespread recognition with the popular television series Udaariyaan, alongside Ankit Gupta. Despite their on-screen chemistry and media attention surrounding their relationship, the pair eventually parted ways.
Looking ahead, Priyanka is set to make her mark in the supernatural fantasy genre with Naagin 7. Her new look for the show was unveiled during Bigg Boss 19 last month. The Naagin franchise, produced by Ektaa Kapoor, revolves around the tale of shape-shifting serpents, known as icchadhari naagins, who can transform into humans, often driven by revenge or the quest to protect the mystical naagmani. Naagin 7 is scheduled to premiere on December 27.
