Vaani Kapoor: I cannot afford surgery, I am only one film old

Over three years ago, Vaani Kapoor made her debut in Maneesh Sharma’s ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’, which starred Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra. The actress from Delhi has patiently waited for her second Bollywood outing, ‘Befikre’, helmed by Aditya Chopra.

When the trailer launched this October, social media took potshots at her, saying, “pretty Vaani” had turned into “handsome Vaana”. There was something different about the way she looked. Twitterati have been sharing her ‘then-and-now’ pictures, claiming she has done a lip job and chin surgery, and that she may have resorted to a special skin treatment that showed up in the initial stages of the film’s shoot.

When we met her at Yash Raj Studios in Andheri, there are no tell-tale signs of the ‘job’. Without beating around the bush, she asks, “Does it look like I’ve done something? I don’t know what to say.”
