Rajkummar Rao
is one of the finest actors in the business today thanks to his films like Shahid, Citylights, Badhaai Do, The White Tiger and many more. The actor was in the news recently when a picture of him from
Diljit Dosanjh
’s concert went viral. It was speculated that the actor has undergone
plastic surgery
, especially for his chin. Speaking to ETimes, Rajkummar addressed the buzz about going under the knife.
The actor, who is in the midst of promoting his next film Srikant, which is a biopic on visually impaired businessman
Srikant Bolla
, in an exclusive conversation with ETimeshe said, “First of all, I've lost some weight on my face and I'm very very particular about doing my cardio, I'm hardcore when it comes to skipping or running.
Long back when I gave my first audition for LSD, I still remember getting that call from
Dibakar Banerjee
and he said I like your test but there's some weight on your face, you need to lose that. And it's been 15 years, I'm still running every day because, you know, some things, they stay with you. But that particular picture that you're talking about, I also saw that picture and now, when you look at me and you think about that picture, they're not the same people. They're two different people. So that picture, that's flawless skin, it looks like some Korean K-pop star and I'm not that guy. I'm not that good looking, I know my reality. But it certainly looks like a little touch-top picture, you know, like somebody has played some prank on that picture”
The actor also revealed that he did undergo a small surgery for his chin on the advice of his dermatologist, "When I was starting out, a lot of people would comment on my looks and everything. So, 8-9 years back, my
dermatologist
told me that my face was slightly imbalance, which is why I used very little filler on my chin, just to balance it out and I'm glad I did that because I definitely feel confident. I feel I look much better now than I was 10 years back and you can see that in my films. After that (procedure), I've done films like Shaadi Mein Zaroor Ana, Newton, Trapped etc . But plastic surgery, no, I've not done any kind of plastic surgery.”
