Khushi Kapoor on being judged for her looks
In the interview, Khushi spoke about being judged for her looks as a young girl and how it affected her. Talking about how she looked different from mom Sridevi and sister Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi shares, “It’s a vicious cycle. When I was a young girl, I was made fun of how I looked. I didn’t look like my mother or sister. Your self-esteem takes a hit when you are a young child. I took a keen interest in vanity and to look a certain way and I don’t think that it is a bad thing, especially when I know these are the things people are pointing out. I am not saying that it is something that people should or shouldn’t do. I haven’t done the hundred things that people have said that I have done but it is a part of taking care of yourself sometimes. Skincare, fillers, I don’t think these are the things a person should be scrutinised for,” the actor said.
Like many young actors of her generation, Khushi has copped criticism for allegedly getting facial treatments and fillers, something the actor had admitted in the past, too. She added, “It is important to be honest. Whether you do something or you don’t people are going to have an issue with it. I was judged when I looked a certain way when I was young and I was called certain names and when I changed how I look, people had an issue with it too. You should do what is right.”
Khushi Kapoor had refreshingly opened up on getting a nose job and fillers in an Instagram post last month.
