Lock Upp Star Akanksha Chaudhary Spent Rs 60,000 On Cheek Injections
Have you ever wanted to change something about the way you look?
A TV star named Akanksha Chaudhary once felt that pressure too.
She was getting ready for a big beauty contest called Miss Universe.
People told her many times that she needed a thinner, sharper face to succeed in her industry.
So she started saving money for a surgery that could remove fat from her cheeks.
She saved money by eating very little, sometimes only fruits and watermelon once a day.
She also went to Bombay to see a doctor about the surgery.
Instead, a doctor gave her injections in her cheeks every week for about a month.
She paid between 40,000 and 60,000 rupees for these injections.
But Akanksha says the injections gave 'zero result' and she is happy she never got the permanent surgery, because it could have changed her face forever.
Akanksha Chaudhary denied nose surgery rumours, saying 'No, I didn't do anything.'
She said she considered buccal fat removal surgery while preparing for Miss Universe.
She saved money by eating one meal a day of fruits and watermelons to fund the procedure.
She spent around Rs 40,000 to Rs 60,000 on weekly cheek fat reduction injections over 4-5 weeks.
Calling the injections a 'zero result,' she is glad she avoided the permanent surgery.
