Rajkumar Rao says he did chin fillers 8 years ago

Rajkummar Rao in a recent interview denied rumours that he has undergone plastic surgery after his photos from a recent event went viral. The actor, in an interview with news agency PTI, said, "I've not gone under the knife. I have not done any kind of plastic surgery. That picture, if you see it again, how is it possible in 14 years, there's one picture and no other picture like that?

The actor mentioned that he got fillers a few years ago. He said, "But saying that... Because you know, I heard a lot of these comments when I started working. People started commenting on my looks and everything. 8-9 years back, I did a little touch-up on my chin with fillers, which is like a half-an-hour job because I wanted to feel more confident, which I do. I certainly feel more confident. I feel I look much better, but has it changed me as a person, has it changed me as an artist? Not at all."

"Acting is a visual medium. I am not against it. If somebody wants to boost their confidence and the science is available, then why not? But no plastic surgery. It is too expensive and time-consuming," concluded the actor.
