If you’ve been agonising over your looks as most of humanity does and are thinking of a bit of a nip and tuck, do so at your own peril. And we don’t mean that you’ll go under the plastic surgeon’s scalpel to look more like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and come out looking like Akshay Kumar. What we are trying to warn you of is that if you were hoping to fool people into thinking that you were born with a nose like Audrey Hepburn and lips like Angelina Jolie, this may prove difficult if your surgeon decides to put your worst face forward.
Sunanda Pushkar of the now notorious Indian Premier League Kochi fame is one such victim.

You see, hardly anyone knows what we look like, unlike say the stars of the electronic media. So it is quite easy for us to look like dogs one day and after a stint at an appropriate facility emerge looking like Jessica Alba or Tom Cruise. Now people in the public eye can’t do that. Every line and wrinkle would be scrutinised. So, since no relationship is sacred anymore, not even that with doctors, the best way to keep up the façade that you were born beautiful is to remain in the shadows like us.
