Bhumi Pednekar, who was recently seen in The Royals, once clapped back at the trolls who commented on her 'big lips' during initial phase of her career.Over the years, Bhumi Pednekar’s changing appearance has sparked plenty of rumors and speculation. Many have claimed she underwent multiple cosmetic surgeries, but Bhumi has consistently denied these accusations. Recently, a video surfaced on Reddit showing the actress delivering a fierce response to the harsh comments she received early in her career about her full lips.“People Pay Lakhs for It” – Bhumi’s Blunt ResponseIn the resurfaced video, Bhumi Pednekar is seen in conversation with Anupama Chopra, joined by actors Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana. During the chat, she opened up about receiving bizarre and unsolicited remarks about her appearance early in her career. Bhumi recalled one such instance when someone told her that her lips looked “too big.” She fired back by questioning how that could possibly be an issue—especially now, when people spend lakhs to achieve fuller lips through cosmetic procedures.
A Message on Self-Awareness and ConfidenceAddressing the larger issue, Bhumi shared a powerful message: when faced with such strange and superficial criticism, the most important thing is to take a step back, reflect, and stay grounded in self-awareness rather than getting affected by public opinion.Netizens React to the Viral VideoAs soon as the video surfaced online, it sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens in the comment section. While many expressed empathy for Bhumi Pednekar, acknowledging how difficult it must have been for her to face such comments early in her career, others couldn’t help but point out how different she looks now compared to her earlier appearances. Some users also speculated about the possibility of the actress having undergone cosmetic procedures to enhance her facial features, reigniting discussions around celebrity transformations and beauty standards in the industry.The Unending Cycle of Plastic Surgery Rumours in BollywoodPlastic surgery rumours are a constant in Bollywood, often surfacing whenever an actress appears even slightly different—without considering natural factors like weight loss or styling changes. Bhumi Pednekar faced similar speculation. After her noticeable transformation post Dum Laga Ke Haisha, where she shed significant weight, many were quick to assume she had gone under the knife. Despite the chatter, Bhumi never confirmed undergoing any cosmetic procedures, and much of the buzz seemed to overlook her hard work and dedication to fitness.
