Rajkummar Rao on why he decided to get chin fillers

Rajkummar Rao, who is currently promoting his upcoming biographical drama Srikanth, had posed for shutterbugs at a concert in Mumbai and many on social media commented how he looked different. He, however, told PTI that the photo being circulated on social media is edited and he has not undergone plastic surgery. He admitted that he did get chin fillers a few years earlier but nothing after that. 

The actor reasoned that he was judged for his looks in the beginning of his career. He said, “When I was looking for work and when I started working, people commented on my looks and everything. So, eight-nine years back, I did a little touch up on my chin with fillers, which is like a half an hour job, because I wanted to feel more confident, which I do.” The 39-year-old actor added, "I feel I look much better. But has it changed me as a person? Has it changed me as an artist? Not at all.”

I was not wearing any makeup. But I must say it looks weird even for me. It was just a bad moment caught on camera. I have not done any plastic surgery." Srikanth will release in theatres on May 10.
