Actress and former Bigg Boss contestant Jasmine Bhasin recently reacted to rumours of getting Botox done. She also opened up about the beauty standards which have been set by the industry. This comes after the actress was trolled for getting Botox and fillers done after her lips looked plumped in a video a few months back.
During a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Jasmine questioned what’s wrong with getting cosmetic surgeries done. She also added that if such things help boost a person’s confidence then there’s nothing wrong with that.
Reacting to those trolling her, the 34-year-old actress said, “I don’t know why people care so much. If something makes me feel better, more confident, boosts my self-esteem, then what’s wrong with that? If I’ve spent my whole life feeling like something is lacking in me, and I choose to fix it, what’s the issue with that? Why do people look down upon others for it? Everyone deserves to live fully and be happy. Everyone knows what’s right or wrong for themselves, what they like or don’t like. If someone feels they’ve crossed a line they shouldn’t have, they should be aware of that too. But simply fixing or improving something because it makes you feel better, I honestly don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
Jasmine further clarified, “Recently, my name got linked to this topic too. I received a lot of messages on Instagram under one of my posts like, ‘Jasmine has done her lips,’ ‘Jasmine has had something done,’ and so on. But there was nothing like that. I had swelling from an incident, and that day the makeup artist had overlined my lips a lot. Which I actually liked at the time, because even on Instagram filters, lips tend to look slightly plumper. But later, I realised that the look didn’t suit my face.”
On a concluding note, she shared, “And as I grow older, my face will change, my body will change, some changes will happen naturally, and maybe some I’ll choose to make. What matters is that I feel good and pretty. I always want to look my best, and if I ever do anything, it’ll never be to harm myself but to make myself feel better. If something goes wrong, then fine, go ahead, troll me. People troll you no matter what, whether you do something or not.”
Opening up about the beauty standards in industry, Jasmine said that actresses are expected to look a certain way and she feels there’s nothing wrong with that.
“A heroine is expected to be slim, fair, and a great dancer. This kind of visual is constantly portrayed. But that image is not the whole truth. It takes a huge amount of effort to create that look, there are teams of people involved, you’re dressed in the best clothes, and you’re often on a strict diet. Toh ye sab humne hi banaye hain, aur hum khud hi ismein ulajh gaye hain. As long as aap apne aap se khush ho, andar se, that is the most important thing,” she said.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Jasmine recently joined cooking-based reality show Laughter Chefs 2 to support her boyfriend Aly Goni as a guest.
