Amid the acclaim for her new film ‘Do Diwane Shahar Mein,’ actress Sandeepa Dhar has turned spotlight on a pressing issue: the alarming surge in cosmetic surgeries among regular young women. The movie’s theme of ditching perfection for self-acceptance resonates deeply, mirroring her own views shared in a recent interview.
Sandeepa highlighted how beauty enhancements have democratized, escaping the glamour bubble of showbiz. ‘Common girls are now queuing up for these procedures, seeing them as normal,’ she said. The drive to embody a ‘heroine’ vibe is fine, but self-deprecation makes it perilous.
Unrealistic standards alienate us from our true selves, she asserted. Change demands communal support: parents and peers urging natural acceptance. Comparison destroys happiness—from schoolyard rivalries to Instagram scrolls, it instills lasting trauma by ignoring personal uniqueness.
‘Journeys differ; timings vary. Craved things aren’t always fitting,’ Sandeepa counseled. ‘Embrace yourself—you’re sufficient.’ Her take on success prioritizes serenity over stardom. ‘Films fluctuate in success, but daily life with self is constant. Evolving humanly and grasping existence’s aim trumps applause.’
In a society hooked on edits and enhancements, Sandeepa’s message is a refreshing antidote, promoting inner contentment over superficial tweaks.
