Rajkummar Rao is usually talked about for his performances in various critically acclaimed movies. But five days ago, he was in news for speculations sparked by his latest photograph that he has undergone plastic surgery for his chin. He looked quite different and the internet was abuzz with these rumours. Rao has now steered clear from it.
The actor admitted that he has not gone under the knife, however, he did get a filler done on his chin on the recommendation of his dermatologist.
The ' Shahid ' actor said during a chat with Bollywood Hungama, "I've not done any plastic surgery guys. That's a bad photo. I feel that's a touch up photo because I wish i had such flawless skin and I was not wearing make-up. It looks weird to me also. It was a bad moment caught on camera. But eight years back, I did some filler work on my chin because I wanted to look confident and my dermatologist suggested. That's about it. Do I feel confident about it? Yes. It's a visual medium. Acting is a visual medium and I'm not against it. If someone wants to boost their confidence and science is available."

The actor further emphasised that, "I'm a very honest person. I've always been very open about my life. So, I would like to say I have not done any plastic surgery. It's too expensive and time consuming. Having said that, I want to ask people, 'do I look better now?"
Raj is promoting his movie 'Srikanth' with director Tusshar Hiranandani '. The director responded to this question and laughed, "He's also acting better."
'Srikanth' is based on the life of industrialist Srikanth Bolla . It is set to release on May 10.
