Khushi Kapoor has opened up about undergoing cosmetic procedures in 2024, and recently, the actress emphasized the need for actors to be transparent about such choices instead of giving people false hope. Now, during a SCREEN Live held in New Delhi on February 4, 2025, Khushi got candid about being judged for her looks as a child and how it affected her self-esteem.

During the conversation, Khushi Kapoor stressed the importance of honesty when it came to beauty enhancements. She added that individuals have the complete right to their bodies and should do what feels best for them. Khushi also addressed the unrealistic beauty standards and explained how, from a very young age, she was compared to her sister, Janhvi Kapoor and mother, Sridevi. She revealed how people would make fun of her as a kid because she didn't look like her mother or sister. She stated:

"It's a vicious cycle. When I was a young girl, I was made fun of how I looked. I didn't look like my mother or sister. Your self-esteem takes a hit when you are a young child. I took a keen interest in vanity and to look a certain way and I don't think that it is a bad thing, especially when I know these are the things people are pointing out. I am not saying that it is something that people should or shouldn't do. I haven't done the hundred things that people have said I have done, but it is a part of taking care of yourself sometimes. Skincare, fillers, I don't think these are the things a person should be scrutinised for."

Khushi also revealed how she was called certain names when she was growing up. The actress appeared at the event to promote her upcoming film, Loveyapa, alongside her co-star and male lead, Junaid Khan. She stated:

"It is important to be honest. Whether you do something or you don’t people are going to have an issue with it. I was judged when I looked a certain way when I was young and I was called certain names and when I changed how I look, people had an issue with it too. You should do what is right."
