‘My face is plastic’: ‘Miss World Priyanka’ Chopra opens up about botched plastic surgery

The Hollywood actress with Indian roots underwent facial surgery more than 20 years ago. The manipulation was forced – Priyanka needed to remove polyps in the nasal cavity. This was insisted on by the star’s late father Ashok Chopra, who was himself a doctor. “I was scared about it, but he said, ‘I’ll be in the room with you. He held my hands during the surgery and helped me regain my confidence,” said Chopra.

At that time, the girl had already represented India in beauty contests and began to make a career in Bollywood. However, an unsuccessful operation to remove a benign growth in the nasal cavity put her future in jeopardy. “A polypectomy sounded like a pretty routine procedure. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The surgeon accidentally hit the bridge of my nose and the bridge collapsed. My original nose was gone. My face looked completely different. It wasn’t me. My face became plastic, they called me “plastic Chopra”. I fell into a deep, deep depression, “recalled the actress.

As a result, the rising star was fired from two projects, there were fears that the botched operation would end her career prematurely. The artist was then supported by the Indian director Anila Sharma. “I was supposed to play the lead role, but I was relegated to a supporting role. This director was very kind. When the situation was against me, he said, “It’s going to be a small role, but give it your all.” And I did,” said Priyanka.

After that, the actress had to undergo several corrective surgeries. The appearance of “Miss World 2000″ has changed, but she coped with the tests. “All the talk about body parts and skin tone made me feel devalued, invisible and insecure. But my difference is in my strength. If I looked like other ‘classical beautiful’ girls, then I wouldn’t stand out, and more importantly, I wouldn’t be myself,” the Daily Mail quoted the star as saying.

Gingerbread got used to her face, moreover, she moved to Hollywood and made a successful career outside India. “When I look in the mirror now, it doesn’t surprise me anymore. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m a little different… I’m the same as everyone else: I look at myself in the mirror and think maybe I need to lose weight… But I’m happy with myself. This is my face. This is my body. Maybe I have flaws, but it’s me,” added the Citadel star.

The day before, the actress performed spectacularly in the company of her husband, musician Nick Jonas. The couple appeared in New York at the premiere of the film “Love Again”, in which Priyanka is involved. The actress looked stunning in a pale blue off-the-shoulder dress with a mermaid-inspired skirt. Chopra accessorized the glamorous outfit with hula hoop earrings and a diamond necklace.
