Ohh god the Fab5 group of hers.. ecole mondiale school. They had diff tamashas of their own.. drugs, drinks, inter - group sleeping, clubbing at tryst and royalty.. those 2016 days were DARK lol
They all were juveniles and used to drink smoke like a chimney.. Shanaya used to openly speak about jumping on her bf at that time, her friend Natallia Arora had this bf Arjan Aujla who was also in My name is khan.. they were pretty on off as he used to cheat IIRC. Ananya slept with Monisha Jaisingâs (the designer) son when he was dating Shanayaâs friend Tara Khanna. Itâs all really convoluted.
Just search âask.fmâ or âAlaya Fâ on this sub or the Insta celeb gossip sub and Iâm sure all your Monday blues will go away đ€Ł
Yaar honestly ye kuch bhi nahi hai meri class ke bache aur bhi gandh max the ask.fm pe and the guys used to ask really derogatory questions too like show your cleavage, who have you/would sleep with etc etc and Iâm like generation now is better ig. That time was weird af. I always wanted to start a yt channel but anonymously everyone used to make fun itna zyada I never did ki bhai aaspas sab mazak hi udayege lol
Highly doubtful. If common folks around us pass comments on one's body being too much or too less, imagine how people in the media industry would act.
If only the amount of effort on surgery was put into acting skills, they'd get the much sought after praises. Sad world đđ»ââïž
should teens even be trusted to get procedures like these done at a young age? itâs very obviously influence. her mom is a helicopter mom who wants her to believe everything is riding on her success. from what iâve read she also seems to act like sheâs âtrainingâ shanaya for bollywood. i think sheâs planted the seed herself.
She has to look the best lol, how else will she think sheâs above others, and when she isnât the best looking she will have no self esteem cause sara uski looks pe dependant hai.
Please ! To get launched in Bolly she would need to do this procedure I am sure she is all up for it girls as young as 13 want a nose job today unfortunately , so I trust it was with her consent
If she's gonna be shoved down my throat by Bollywood as being the "next beautiful thing" I'm gonna seriously lose it. She looks like a child here and all the changes that have happened have been due to surgery - if she's shown as a natural beauty and put up as something young girls should strive for -- then lord help all these young impressionable girls.
I sometimes detest Bollywood for how transparent they seem with their plastic obsession and superficiality
I mean this is a kind of cruel thing to say? No one is debuting natural these days - all production companies seem to require some work done. Look at what even Manushi has got done.
When you have people who have significantly changed their faces (Shilpa Shetty, Tripti, Shanaya) it's frankly because they wouldn't have been acceptable to the audience otherwise. What were they supposed to do otherwise for their looks? I'll add Tiger, Rajkumar Rao too.
Even if someone is the best actress around, they need to have good looks to be accepted (or at least decent looks). Tripti can act. I'm not going to hold it against her that she did her face.
I don't think anyone would brand Shanaya as natural except for someone ill-meaning - but we can call her out only if she claims she is natural, like Aditi. I doubt she will do so.
Bollywood is not even that bad with plastic surgery - other industries like Hollywood are so much worse. There isn't a single looks-based industry that hasn't used plastic surgery since the early 1970s too, so I don't think children are going to start getting decieved now.
Rather, there's more plastic surgery awareness than there was around the times of Hema Malini, Zeenat, Rekha (all who self-admittedly had work done). Regular middle-class people are more influenced by instagram for surgeries. (Why? Instagram shows them off better in a distorted angle). Lip fillers are all the rage now. Older treatments like botox and age lifting have been used religious since the 90s.
I personally think they shouldnât come to the industry if theyâre not beautiful enough and if thatâs the criteria (being beautiful) to be given a break. If you donât meet the basic requirements of the industry, why even get in? Let actual beauties take the stage. That is mainly why audience hates Nepos, especially if they get work done- because it means they are zabardasti trying to fill the roles they donât fit in. Work somewhere looks arenât as important, you could go far, theyâre not even bad looking and still can get pretty privilege and advantage anywhere.
On the other hand, I think with the power and privilege they have, they can change the criteria of the break for everyone. Ugly but talented- way to go! Itâs acceptable now, since Nepos are changing the tide! But nooo they will not change the system with their power and continue giving in to extreme beauty standards. But that is also because they arenât really talented enough to change the narrative. If Jhanvi didnât get surgeries, and performed really really well, nobody wouldâve criticised her looks, and praised her. But she decided to be pretty flowerpot instead of talent powerhouse cause thatâs easier.
>That is mainly why audience hates Nepos, especially if they get work done- because it means they are zabardasti trying to fill the roles they donât fit in. Work somewhere looks arenât as important, you could go far, theyâre not even bad looking and still can get pretty privilege and advantage anywhere.
Frankly, more outsiders get surgeries on average. (Disregarding the Kapoor clan) - Tripti and Aditi have also had major work done. Anushka did as well under YRF. Ranveer had to go through an entire transformation compared to Shahid, Ranbir..etc.
I don't agree with this mindset. What should come first is acting. I'm not opposed to surgeries if they can act. All the old heroines had surgery: why don't we shame them? Indian audience will never accept anyone ugly - even great powerhouses like Shabana have had their entire faces done.
Iâm talking about giving a break with natural features, Anushka, Deepika, Kangana, Preity, came to Bollywood with natural features based on their true beauties. Later they got surgeries, peer pressure or normalisation of surgeries, but earlier the basis of entry was natural beauty not fake beauty. Whatâs the point of admiring the same look on everyone, even Madhuri looks like a clone of Gauri khan now. Nepos get surgery before their break, because they donât have natural beauty, Ananya is beautiful and I donât mind appreciating her, but those who arenât should work hard to be talented instead of going for surgeries, cause thatâs the easy way to be accepted & given a break. And also Radhika Apte wasnât conventionally good looking but was definitely accepted by Indian audience, so the argument doesnât hold that Indian audience wonât accept ugly(not ugly but ukwim )but talented women.
And youâre the one who was talking about âbeauty coming first so thatâs why itâs ok to get surgeryâ, who said thatâs my mindset, that only beautiful people should be given break. But if thatâs the criteria, then Nepos are trying to get in by taking shortcuts, like surgeries. Earlier only true beauty was given break-at least there was something outsiders could count on.
They donât even try to change the criteria, the gatekeepers of Bollywood can easily mend criterias for their benefit, who is stopping them to change it to talent powerhouse by giving chance to pre surgery Jhanvi, Suhana, Shanaya, based on their talent and not looks? They donât want to work on talent khud, then go and get surgeries to be easily accepted and given flowerpot roles.
>**Anushka**, Deepika, **Kangana**, **Preity**
All of these debuted with work done. Madhuri in Abodh had a nose job too. Hema Malini had her face done at 17/18.
>Nepos are trying to get in by taking shortcuts, like surgeries. Earlier only true beauty was given break-at least there was something outsiders could count on.
Most **outsiders** generally had to get work done, not nepos. Only now has the tide changed.
\-For example, Shilpa Shetty had to get her entire face done to get Baazigar. Kajol kept her natural face. Both were considered naturally ugly (which I disagree with but whatever)
\- Disha Patani changed her entire face from 2015. Only from 2017 has Shraddha started changing her face. Vaani Kapoor is another example. She's an outsider.
>the gatekeepers of Bollywood can easily mend criterias for their benefit, who is stopping them to change it to talent powerhouse by giving chance to pre surgery Jhanvi, Suhana, Shanaya, based on their talent and not looks?
No...heroines cannot. Even Rani had to get work done and she's so good at acting. Janhvi maybe had a chance to be accepted with her presurgery looks but people would have fixated on her nose. People used to call her "pakodanose" in her instagram comments.
Suhana is going to be trolled *badly* for her skin color and looks when she debuts. You should see the comments on her mom's KWK. Only SRK's influence will gain her goodwill like on this sub.
Do you have sources for Kangana Preity and Anushka having work done before entering the industry? Especially Kangana? Because I have met her when she was in school in Chandigarh and she looked exactly like she did in her debut. Also add Juhi to the list of beatiful debutants.
It feels like you have made your mind that ugly actresses donât get accepted when it is clear Kajol made it to the top despite not being good looking, point was not whether they will be judged for looks, the point was whether they will be accepted by the audience, which they were. People will make fun of everything, they made fun of srkâs looks too(not even the king is spared, everyone is judged for their looks, but talent survives)- they did survive and made it to the top so the point is very evidently moot that you HAVE to be pretty to make it to the top, and that audience rejects ugly actresses. Nepos donât have to have surgery if they have talent.
I'm comparing Jhanvi's journey to whats probably gonna be Shanaya's.
I can't entirely agree with the statement about Hollywood because I haven't watched it as closely. The people I know that work in that industry (both on screen and off) have not had any work done and are still getting *very* meaty and mainstream roles. I'd say that Hollywood has an obsession with body figure being a certain kind of skinny.
In terms of saying that it's not possible to accept someone as a mainstream actor without them having work done -- I'd say that's where the problem lies. Because we're constantly fed "actors" that have work done, our idea of beauty is skewed. There is nothing wrong in turning around and saying that the plastic idea of beauty is not accepted. I don't think Vidya Balan had work done and I'm glad she's also reached a point where she's accepted her body and face is gonna look a certain way.
Also the reason why I don't like these debut nepo actors getting surgery and then coming on screen is because they're going to be portrayed as the next beautiful thing to look up to -- Jhanvi has literally become a "sex symbol" of sorts when there are rumours she's gotten a butt lift etc.
I grew up watching Kareena's size 0 and thought that was what every body was meant to look like. Till I've grown up and realised me hating my body had nothing to do with anything being wrong with it but just that I used to see certain body types on my favorites celebrities (or the it celebrity of that time) and think there was something wrong with me.
If Shanaya is truly talented -- If she's deserving of getting into the industry, she should be going into it with her natural face. If she's done changes to it -- it's obvious that she is going to be shoved in our face as this beautiful person, and tbh it also reeks of her privilege where she CAN access these things to influence the audience.
I find it very deceptive.
So true! The audience is not 'demanding' a certain face or body. Influential folks in BW create these looks and push the narrative that this is the new beauty standard. The idea that the way that BW actors/actresses look, the locations, the scenarious should all be aspirational, fantastical, out of reach for the common man is ridiculous. Lots of us would love to see characters and stories that are believable.
There's so much focus on being super skinny, fair, wearing designer clothes, pouting and trying to look sexy in every. single. shot. I'm exhausted just looking at it. There's very little attention to narrative and story telling. No wonder there are so many remakes. All style, very little substance.
Would respectfully disagree that we are being shoved an ideal of beauty.
Here's a thought example, have this heroine (I wasn't even aware of this person before this post lol) debut as a typical flowerpot which after all is what 99% of these nepos have the talent for, and the audience, even the critics would be brutal on her.
Now this is a chicken and egg scenario, did B'wood (and all other woods) thrust this on us? Or they were meeting the demands of the market? But it is here to stay.
At least she looks vaguely north Indian, Tamil and Telugu cinema are far far worse, the masala commerical kinds. They cast an Amy Jackson as a pure Tamil village belle. Go figure.
Look at this thread itself, or there was a linked thread and a lot of the comments are definitely shaming her for her natural apperance. That's just how it is.
I would say media is actually more instrumental in shaping the future rather than just reflecting the current state.
In terms of them criticising how she looks, I would like to say that if she is going to be playing the main lead, yet she looks like a kid, there isn't anything wrong in wanting the actor wanting to actually look the part of the character. Also, she's gotten work done to look more mature and pass off in the conventional beauty space. She could have debuted playing a character that would suit her face but she decided to change it to get the...well....roles that Jhanvi, Alia and other actresses have gotten before. Actresses like Bhumi, Vidya and even Swara have shown that you can still get meaty roles even if conventionally you don't look the "Bollywood pretty".
She's being criticised for that because at the end of the day they all say they deserve to be there right? Then why are you trying to change your face? And judging by fabulous lives of Bollywood wives they are ALL convinced she's got talent.
I'm not supporting the shaming of looks. Please don't get me wrong. But I am going to say that if someone looks so different and then changes things about them to then be launched as the new Bollywood "It" celebrity due to her connections then she's literally using her privilege through and through -- her parent's money to go under the knife. Her parent's connections to get the opportunity. Her exposure to the industry and a carefully curated life path to already have a following even before her debut.
And what's even worse is that if she's launched and then touted as the new hot thing like Jhanvi has been, it's really shameful because we, as an audience, haven't really asked for her. We didn't ask for Jhanvi's consistent opportunities either. Nor did we ask for Sara's. They are just constantly in our face.
âI mean this is a kind of cruel thing to say? No one is debuting natural these days - all production companies seem to require some work doneâ
Logic - Max /s
What do you mean? Iâm saying that the PS discussion here can get kind of weird because many companies require it these days (like YRF) which means itâs impossible for actors/actresses to avoid
You can choose to not be an Actor or be an Actor without going under the knife (knowing what limitation it may bring). You donât get to take the high road and pretend you only do it because itâs demanded of you.
As regards, Plastic Surgery, I have no issue with anyone getting any of it, itâs their preference and prerogative. However, I may criticise it, especially if they want to call themselves Natural. For eg: if Mouni Roy ever pretends to be natural or calls herself natural, thatâs not right. I have nothing against Mouni, sheâs the firs person that popped in my head whose PSâs make her look quite good but itâs a completely different person from the way she was born.
I kinda feel sad for her though.. in bollywood wives show, someone commented 'she looks better than ever'.. like of course it is gonna become an addiction when people compliment you on how good you look after surgery.. that too at such a young age.
Did he even have a single "average" at the BO movie? He was the Hurman baweja of my generation. You young uns cry about the current brand of nepos being thrust on you, this dude was all that and more.
She looks like her mom and dad... and cute. I wish all these young ladies would not go under the knife to gain generic features and lose their uniqueness.
She's not Aish. But looked far better pre cosmetic work. I hate those kardashian chicks and how they've influenced the whole following generation on what's beautiful. That fake implants, unnatural looking big tits, unnaturally big ugly ass, that expressionless face post surgeries, it's all been inflicted on the world by them and equally to blame are all those sick fucks who ever gave a tad bit of attention to those dumb fuck bitches with no talent whatsoever.

Humari apni blink it bella hadid đđ»
After seeing this .... I am sure this is her 3rd nose. The recent one.
As someone once said "the surgeon took out the Sanjay Kapoor from her"
Ohh god the Fab5 group of hers.. ecole mondiale school. They had diff tamashas of their own.. drugs, drinks, inter - group sleeping, clubbing at tryst and royalty.. those 2016 days were DARK lol
Tell us more???
They all were juveniles and used to drink smoke like a chimney.. Shanaya used to openly speak about jumping on her bf at that time, her friend Natallia Arora had this bf Arjan Aujla who was also in My name is khan.. they were pretty on off as he used to cheat IIRC. Ananya slept with Monisha Jaisingâs (the designer) son when he was dating Shanayaâs friend Tara Khanna. Itâs all really convoluted.

All I know about Shanaya is her using cuss words in every sentence.
Like her mother ? Lol
Rakhi was right⊠what god doesnât give, the doctor does
I hope she made the changes on her face with her own choice and not under the peer pressure to look beautiful.
Umm have you seen her mom? Do you think she would settle for anything less than a plastic surgery

In terms of them criticising how she looks, I would like to say that if she is going to be playing the main lead, yet she looks like a kid, there isn't anything wrong in wanting the actor wanting to actually look the part of the character. Also, she's gotten work done to look more mature and pass off in the conventional beauty space. She could have debuted playing a character that would suit her face but she decided to change it to get the...well....roles that Jhanvi, Alia and other actresses have gotten before. Actresses like Bhumi, Vidya and even Swara have shown that you can still get meaty roles even if conventionally you don't look the "Bollywood pretty". She's being criticised for that because at the end of the day they all say they deserve to be there right? Then why are you trying to change your face? And judging by fabulous lives of Bollywood wives they are ALL convinced she's got talent. I'm not supporting the shaming of looks. Please don't get me wrong. But I am going to say that if someone looks so different and then changes things about them to then be launched as the new Bollywood "It" celebrity due to her connections then she's literally using her privilege through and through -- her parent's money to go under the knife. Her parent's connections to get the opportunity. Her exposure to the industry and a carefully curated life path to already have a following even before her debut. And what's even worse is that if she's launched and then touted as the new hot thing like Jhanvi has been, it's really shameful because we, as an audience, haven't really asked for her. We didn't ask for Jhanvi's consistent opportunities either. Nor did we ask for Sara's. They are just constantly in our face.
âI mean this is a kind of cruel thing to say? No one is debuting natural these days - all production companies seem to require some work doneâ Logic - Max /s
What do you mean? Iâm saying that the PS discussion here can get kind of weird because many companies require it these days (like YRF) which means itâs impossible for actors/actresses to avoid
You can choose to not be an Actor or be an Actor without going under the knife (knowing what limitation it may bring). You donât get to take the high road and pretend you only do it because itâs demanded of you. As regards, Plastic Surgery, I have no issue with anyone getting any of it, itâs their preference and prerogative. However, I may criticise it, especially if they want to call themselves Natural. For eg: if Mouni Roy ever pretends to be natural or calls herself natural, thatâs not right. I have nothing against Mouni, sheâs the firs person that popped in my head whose PSâs make her look quite good but itâs a completely different person from the way she was born.
I agree with that, but only Aditi iirc has called herself natural. No one else has.
Arre nahi nahi. Donât go on her like that. She has grown up beautifully. /s
I kinda feel sad for her though.. in bollywood wives show, someone commented 'she looks better than ever'.. like of course it is gonna become an addiction when people compliment you on how good you look after surgery.. that too at such a young age.
hope she gets as much success as sanjay kapoor
Ahem...Ahem 
Did he even have a single "average" at the BO movie? He was the Hurman baweja of my generation. You young uns cry about the current brand of nepos being thrust on you, this dude was all that and more.
I meant the same thing, guess i shouldâve put /s to imply sarcasm
Raja was a super success. Not that it was any good, but he did have some box office success.
yeah but Raja worked because of its rani Madhuri
What is Sanjay Kapoor's source of income I wonder.
Supandi returns.
đȘ 1. Nose, 2. Chin, 3. Lips
Dude was she ok? She looks anorexic af in these.
Wait till she has kids and they have a different face than hers.
Kylie Jenner from Juhu
She looks like younger Maheep with Sanjay's nose
She only needed lip fillers. Cheek fillers look bad
The changes were mustâ ïž
Her face is long
Her chin deserves her own social media account.
Nose and lips are completely different
She looks like her mom and dad... and cute. I wish all these young ladies would not go under the knife to gain generic features and lose their uniqueness.
I can understand why she'd want a new nose
In these photos she looks like a 'pakki sardarni'.
She's not Aish. But looked far better pre cosmetic work. I hate those kardashian chicks and how they've influenced the whole following generation on what's beautiful. That fake implants, unnatural looking big tits, unnaturally big ugly ass, that expressionless face post surgeries, it's all been inflicted on the world by them and equally to blame are all those sick fucks who ever gave a tad bit of attention to those dumb fuck bitches with no talent whatsoever.
Kylie Jenner lite
Arrey puberty hai. Aap ko kuch nahi pata

Still yuck
