Other actresses particularly, and plenty of others as well, have been sniggering about this female star's botched-up cosmetic surgery. It's evident in every photo session she does, and looks like it's going to be hard to hide on the big screen too.
The star herself is reportedly devastated by all the unwanted attention, particularly because she was never fully convinced she should go ahead with the 'enhancement procedure'. The story goes that she was advised by trusted friends that fuller lips and a more defined smile couldn't possibly hurt.
Despite all the constant chatter about her 'new look', the actress has been diligently focused on her film and advertising assignments, making it a point not to talk on the subject, although it's the only thing journos want to probe her on. Those in the know say all may not be lost; while the surgery isn't reversible, the damage could be considerably rectified when the actress shows up next to have collagen pumped into her lips.
Currently wrapping up a coveted film project with one of India's most respected contemporary male stars, she moves on to another mega film with a leading heartthrob actor. Meanwhile, the promising young leading lady has apparently sworn off taking advice from others.
