Let’s address the P-word: Plastic Surgery! Do you automatically get an ick every time he mentions the word? While for the world, plastic surgery and cosmetic surgeries can be an artificial enhancement, for top-tier celebrities, they are part and parcel of the glamorous profession. Since it is a visual medium, it is obvious that their looks play a huge part in it. Hence, a lot of celebrities are bound to opt for it, even if they don’t recall needing it.
This pressure to look perfect in the showbiz industry and always keep the audience hooked to your social media with sultry and hot pictures has made several celebrities go to extensive lengths with their surgeries. When the children of celebrities step into the spotlight, it’s even harder for those nepo (short for nepotism) kids to sustain and take their family legacy forwards.
