To be surviving in the entertainment industry for the longest time is quite a challenge indeed and not many names have managed to do that. It is all the more a feat for actors on the small screen where if they aren't a part of super long-running shows, they need to constantly innovate themselves and be a part of the most interesting projects time and again.

Actor Rakshanda Khan, who has been on the tube for the longest time and has managed to survive with finesse. She has also managed to age gracefully and looks more beautiful than ever. Set to be seen in Tera Bina Jiya Jaye Na (TBJJN), the actor went on to talk about how there was a time she contemplated 'fixing' her nose but decided otherwise.

Talking about it with ETimes TV, Khan said, “My nose has bothered me for years from the time I started modelling. I had a fall when I was two and that disturbed the balance of my nose. When I was in my 20s, some photographers had told me, ‘ Ek kaam karo nose ki surgery karva lo bada achha career hoga’. I considered it very strongly, but I realised that it would be too much of a trouble to go through. Kaun surgery karvaayega, do hafte plastic laga kar naak par baithega. It was easier for me to start liking my nose! Eventually, I came to a point where I made peace with it.”

She added, “If I could look a certain way till I die, then God would not have allowed me to age... I would have just been frozen in time. Also, if I constantly hold onto my 20-year-old image then I am not being grateful for what I have. I understand people who go in for it because they are a part of the glamour industry, but glamour doesn’t mean that you sell a dream of beauty, which is unattainable. Fairness creams, anti-ageing creams, lifting creams and fillers, theek hai bhai lekin harr cheez agar aap ek limit mein karte ho. There could be things that genuinely bother you, but you have to draw the line somewhere. If I am only putting up pictures with a filter, it means I don’t want anyone to know my real face and if I don’t like my real face, how will someone else? I cannot expect to be loved if I dislike my own self. If I am not comfortable in my own skin, then it’s going to be a mess living with me.”

Emphasizing the need to focus on mental health, she said, “Mental health will sort out everything for an individual, while looks will only keep a part of the person happy. If I am mentally stable and happy, I will be able to keep everyone around me happy. Fitness is of paramount importance; one needs to follow a fitness regimen to be able to stay fit, and not to have six-packs. I want my child to know that fitness is important because of health and not because of looks.”

Apart from being seen in TBJJN soon, Khan was last seen in the short-lived show, Durga - Mata Ki Chhaya.
