Koena Mitra says she was 'tortured for three years' after her surgery because she spoke about it
Koena Mitra was one of the only actresses to have openly spoken about her surgery. She says she was 'tortured' for that, and people distanced her.
Many would remember Koena Mitra as the Saki Saki girl, many would also remember her as a contestant from Bigg Boss 13. But one thing that most people would associate with is her surgeries. While many people can see how stars go under the knife, she was one of the few stars who openly spoke about it. And now, she has revealed how she was ostracized in the industry because she decided to speak about her surgery.
In a recent interview, she has said she was tortured for three years post her surgery and that people decided to distance themselves from her. Talking to Aaj Tak, she said, "There was a time when I got a big break, despite being an outsider. On the other hand, when I need them the most, no one from the industry stood up for me. I will always have this complaint against the industry that they did not speak for me openly.”
She also added, "When I came here, I did not know that one must not speak about one's surgery. Someone asked me, and I talked about my surgery. Soon after that, it felt like the entire world came after me. I was tortured for my surgery for three long years. Constantly, the media ran negative news items about me. Many people from the industry also distanced themselves from me at the time and it also affected my work. I feel like laughing because people would advise me to stay strong, but not support me in front of the media."
She also said that she does not regret doing what she did because it was her body and face. Well, we do have to agree to that.
