Actress Shruti Haasan is known for being open about her personal life. She has often talked up about her fluctuating weight, and her ongoing fight with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and dysmenorrhea. In a recent interview, she opened up about undergoing a nose surgery and lip fillers.

She said, “There are a lot of actors who will never admit they have stuff done to their faces, but I am not one of them. I don’t want young girls to think that I woke up looking like this. Being a child of famous people, I grew up in the public eye. Denying things like this seems silly to me.”

Talking about the decision to fix her nose, she said, “I had a normal nose but by the time I grew up, it was crooked after two injuries. I never liked the way it looked, and breathing didn’t feel good.” Shruti also confessed getting lip fillers. She said, “I didn’t like how thin my lips were. There was a time when I went crazy with lip fillers. It took me a couple of years of experimenting, but now I have come back a lot closer to my natural look.”

Elaborating her struggle with PCOS and dysmenorrhea, she said, “It makes every menstrual cycle really painful for me. We can’t talk about it, because of the stigma attached to it and lack of awareness. There are many women like me, grappling with mood swings, weight gain, excess hair, hair loss, pimples and a lot more, that come with the territory. Every month is a battle.”
