Shilpa Shetty had a nose job before she made her name as a Bollywood beauty.
Sky One documentary The Real Shilpa Shetty 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 Shilpa “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: “The Shilpa Shetty that you see today isn’t the Shilpa Shetty that you would have seen at school.
“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.”
The Real Shilpa Shetty will be repeated on March 24 at 8pm.
