Bollywood, or films, in general, put an actor under such scrutiny that every little so-called "imperfection" of one's body is subjected to criticism. (One only needs to ask professional models). As a result, there are plenty of actors and models who end up going under the knife to look even better on the screen.

Well, while sometimes it works out, many times, it certainly doesn't.

If one is to listen to what people are saying on social media these days, retired Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia Azmi is speculated to have gone under the knife, with people visibly taken aback at what she's done with her face.

The 35-year-old actress, who appeared in films like  Tarzan: The wonder car and Wanted, recently posted a boomerang of herself on Instagram in green ethnic wear. Soon after the post went up, there was a barrage of comments from her followers who were apparently left disappointed with her new look, with many suggesting that she had done something to her lips as well as the rest of her face.

One user commented, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks....what has she done to herself ...she looked so pretty earlier"

While we are certain that online trolling is certainly not a helping hand in a tough time like the pandemic, Ayesha had also opened up on the whole debate earlier.

“Having personally been through many incidents of trolling and workplace bullying…I wish to spread the word about this and I want you to speak up please if someone is making you feel less, small, or worthless. Please know that you are incredible and unique. You are meant to be here and fight for what you deserve. You are bright and different, you must not let them win.” said Ayesha.
