Rajkummar Rao's viral pic sparks plastic surgery rumours, actor reacts and says 'Have done fillers but never gone under the knife'

Recently, a photograph of Rajkummar Rao that showed the actor with an unusually long chin circulated online, sparking rumours that he had undergone plastic surgery. The image led to widespread speculation and discussions among netizens.

Addressing these rumours, Rajkummar Rao clarified in an interview with India Today that the photo was not authentic and suggested it might have been altered as a joke. "If you have seen that picture, it doesn't even look like me. It was really funny because it's not even me. I guess someone played a prank," Rao commented, dismissing the idea that it depicted his real appearance.

Despite the buzz around the possibility of cosmetic surgery, Rao disclosed that he has never undergone such procedures. He did, however, admit to using fillers about nine years ago to enhance his facial features.

This decision was influenced by the criticism he faced about his looks early in his career. "When I started out, people would comment on my looks. So yes, around eight to nine years back, I did get fillers. I did it to feel better and look better so that my face looks balanced. It was prescribed by my dermatologist," he explained. Rao expressed support for anyone considering similar treatments to boost their confidence, emphasizing that there is nothing wrong with such choices.
