'You shouldn't do it because...': Lust Stories 2 star Kajol shares a valuable piece of advice for young actresses

Bollywood actress Kajol has dealt with quite hurtful remarks in her career spanning more than three decades in the film industry. She was called dark and fat but she embraced herself with respect and dignity. However, it took a long time for her to accept that she is beautiful. At a time, when there is a large influx of talent in Bollywood, Kajol shared a valuable piece of advice for the young actresses.

The Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge actress is currently promoting her upcoming series, The Trial: Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha. In the latest interview with Zoom, she was asked what advice she would give to young actresses entering the industry. She said that the young girls should not go under the knife because of any pressure. “God has made you in a particular way, and for what god has not made the way you wanted, there’s always make-up." Suparn Varma, the Trial’s director, who sat next to her added, “Or surgery.” To which, Kajol added, "Exactly, that’s what I mean. That it should be a personal choice, you shouldn’t do it because 25 people have told you to do it."
