Plastic Surgery in Bollywood :

Do you think that the great superstar like Michael Jackson and the beautiful looking Bollywood Diva Sridevi are as attractive and beautiful as they seem to be? No!!!! it is totally the magic of cosmetic surgery that has changed the total appearance and outlook of these people and many more.

More movies are made in Bollywood every year than any other city in the world.  Bollywood movies have seen increases in budgets and actors and actresses have seen paychecks and publicity unrealized before.Similar to Hollywood, more and more Bollywood stars are turning to plastic surgery.

  While many have naturally beautiful facial features, actors and actresses are seeking a competitive advantage and to increase their overall popularity.  As in Hollywood, it is a taboo to discuss certain plastic surgery procedures.  BOTOX has been one procedure which many stars readily admit to.

Sridevi
The original Miss Hawa Hawaii was the one who started the trend of cosmetic surgery in Bollywood with her famous nose job. It seems to have taken her a long way.

Salman Khan
A rotten love affair and a dead Chinkara are enough to make Sallu bhai as bald and beautiful as he can get! Not unless he goes running back to doctor dearest in the US for those hair transplants all over again. That only after he finishes his prayer of thanks for his quick exit from jail life. Baal baal bach gaye!

Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa Shetty went on a leave of absence after she was flung off the balcony in Baazigar and returned with a new plan of action and a new nose. The new look seems to have helped her through heartbreak and flopped films. Is Shilpa going to give up soon? Who nose?

Shilpa joins the showbiz surgery set
The Real Shilpa Shetty on Sky One, told how the actress was an ugly duckling before she turned herself into one of India's best-looking female stars.

A spokesperson for the star confirmed she went under the knife, saying: "She has always been open and honest about the fact that she has had a nose job. It's quite a normal thing for Bollywood actresses to have done. She had it done at the start of her career."

Asjad Nazir, Showbiz Editor of Eastern Eye Magazine, said in the documentary that the Celebrity Big Brother winner changed her look after appearing in Baazigar in 1993.

He said the actress "realised she had to go away and work on her look because she didn't look great in the film".

"So the first thing she did was she had a nose job and then after the nose job she started getting a lot of grooming, right from her dodgy haircut to her clothes to getting physically into shape," he added.

He continued: "At school she was lost in the crowd, she was an ugly duckling and sort of this tall skinny person who didn't fit in with the kind of babes in the school."

Like Shilpa, countless stars have gone under the knife to enhance their looks or prevent the signs of ageing - we take a look at those who like a helping hand from a friendly surgeon and those who would rather let nature take its course.
