People will judge you anyway, says Kapoor
Kapoor (24), the daughter of late actor Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, said, "Yes, I have changed my looks." "But everyone thinks I have done some 10-20 things on myself. It is obviously not the case." "I don't think going under the knife for your looks is such a big deal," she said. "I was not born like this, and all actors groom themselves, and of course, vanity is a large part of our life!"

"I don't want to set unrealistic standards of beauty, and so I became open about the procedures I had done to look like this," she said.
