In a dramatic turn of events, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has refuted claims regarding her alleged botox procedures and the implications that she is paralyzed on one side of her face. The episode gained momentum this morning when Alia addressed the rumors in a candid social media story, calling out those who suggested that she had experienced adverse effects from botox. This rebuttal prompted a response from Dr. Sai Ganapathy, a prominent figure in the field of facial aesthetics, who had earlier commented on the situation in a video.
Photographed alongside this controversy is Alia Bhatt, who took to her Instagram stories to confront the swirling allegations head-on. Her message targeted individuals who had circulated the claim that she had botox, resulting in paralysis. The actress’s story was a strong rebuttal to the rumors, labeling the accusations as exceeding the boundaries of ridiculousness.
Dr. Sai Ganapathy, who previously posted videos discussing Alia’s purported surgery and its supposed side effects, responded promptly to her statements. In a conversation with ‘Hindustan Times’, Dr. Sai clarified that his video was based solely on personal judgment and that there was no intention to target anyone specifically. He stressed that complications in aesthetics are not uncommon and more importantly, they are completely reversible. “It’s just a personal judgment,” Sai stated, “and I have not targeted anyone. It can happen to anybody; even some of my patients can face it. These kinds of complications do occur with aesthetic procedures, and it’s nothing to worry about. It’s completely reversible.”
When discussing the alleged complications that Alia might be experiencing, Dr. Sai provided a detailed medical perspective. He suggested that there might have been an issue during the botox procedure causing a minor, not major, concern to surface.
. “After seeing her videos, I realized that when she must have got the Botox done, something might have gone wrong,” he explained. He further speculated that the Botox might have migrated to the risorius muscle, a movement that could lead to noticeable shifts in facial expressions, such as the ‘dip’ movement observed in Alia’s speech and the slight tilt of her lips captured in various videos circulating online.
Addressing the broader implications of the situation, Dr. Sai emphasized the necessity of raising public awareness regarding aesthetic procedures, notably because celebrities are involved. Despite acknowledging that highlighting someone’s appearance might not be appropriate, the doctor indicated that the public’s interest in celebrities like Alia Bhatt encourages a better understanding of botox and its reversible nature. “I don’t think it is right,” said Dr. Sai, “but they are public figures, so there’s more awareness among people when they see these celebrities getting Botox done and something goes wrong. It helps people be more aware that these things can be reversed. If these small mistakes can happen with celebrities, they can happen with normal people too. But it can be reversed. So, it’s not about targeting that celebrity, but because they are so famous, they can influence the younger generation much more.”
Echoing frustration, Alia’s response was poignant and explicit in its criticism of the claims levied against her. Her story expressed incredulity at the narrative that has been spread, asserting that these tales were hypercritical and based on unfounded scientific explanations. In a segment of her message, Alia addresses the bizarre claims head-on: “To the random video floating around literally claiming I’ve had Botox gone wrong (and to the numerous clickbait articles) – I have a ‘crooked smile’ and a ‘weird way of speaking,’ according to YOU. This is your hypercritical, microscopic judgment of a human face. And now you’re confidently tossing around ‘scientific’ explanations, claiming I’m paralyzed on one side? Are you kidding me?”
Alia Bhatt’s proactive and forthright response marks a significant moment in an ongoing discourse regarding body image and the scrutiny public figures endure. Meanwhile, Dr. Sai Ganapathy stands firm in his position, advocating for an understanding that acknowledges possible procedural mishaps while promoting a broader conversation about aesthetics. As the story continues to unfold, it underscores the dynamic interactions between celebrities and the medical field, inviting deeper reflection on perceptions of beauty and the power of media narratives.
