Actor Rakul Preet Singh has firmly shut down rumours about alleged cosmetic surgeries after a doctor’s Instagram post sparked controversy online. The actor called out what she described as irresponsible and misleading claims warning people against blindly trusting unverified medical opinions shared on social media.
The issue began when a doctor who identified himself as a plastic surgeon uploaded a video comparing Rakul’s older and recent photos. In the clip he claimed that her smile lines had “vanished” and alleged that she had taken Botox in her chin to enhance her jawline. He also went on to suggest that the actor had undergone a nose job.
While sharing the video on her Instagram story she wrote FRAUD ALERT: Its scary that people like him are claiming to be doctors and making statements without any factual checks and misguiding people. Being an actor who understands ancient and modern science I have no issues if people do surgeries but there is also another thing called weight loss that comes from hard work. Have you ever heard of that? (BEWARE OF SUCH DOCTORS)
What exactly did the doctor claim?
The video analysed Rakul’s facial features frame by frame concluding possible cosmetic procedures without any confirmation. The post quickly gained attention with several users debating whether celebrities owe explanations for changes in their appearance. However many also questioned the ethics of making public medical assumptions without consent.

Why is this debate gaining attention?
Rakul’s response has reopened discussions around social media accountability body scrutiny and the growing trend of “face analysis” videos. Several users pointed out how such content normalises body shaming while others supported Rakul for taking a firm stand against misinformation.
The incident also highlighted a larger issue: how medical terms and authority are often misused online especially when it comes to celebrities without any ethical responsibility.
What’s next for Rakul on the work front?
Professionally Rakul Preet Singh was recently seen in De De Pyaar De 2 a romantic comedy that continues the story of the Khurana family. Directed by Anshul Sharma the film stars Ajay Devgn alongside R. Madhavan Javed Jaffrey Meezaan Jaffery and Gautami Kapoor.

As Rakul continues to focus on her career her sharp response serves as a reminder that not every change needs justification—and misinformation deserves to be called out.
