Natural Beauty...Whats that?

“In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty,”
- Christopher Morley

In an effort to let the media establish the definition of beauty, we all  have somewhere lost our personal definitions of it. A recent paper titled “What is Beauty Anyway,” found that men characterized the beauty of a woman by her state of being, the two major components of which were stated as health and happiness.

No doubt that the majority of us approve of the fallacy of emphasizing appearance and looks but the yearning to have a beautiful face/body/physique is so deeply-rooted in us that we find it difficult to disassociate ourselves from it.

 In a recent article I read about Priyanka Chopra going under knife to fix her nose. She was apparently unhappy with the shape of it for quite some time.

This article drew my attention towards  how popular  cosmetic surgery, botox, silicon implants, liposuction and the likes have become in Bollywood? It is now a big hype in Indian film industry about these measures for better appearance and looks. Very few of them come in open and admit about their cosmetic surgeries and implants. I did some research and found out quite a few leading ladies in Bollywood have gone under the knife for some or the other reason. Here are quite a few of them for you to see-

Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor's not so old ‘size zero’ image was all over the news recently. Her bikini scene in ‘Tashan’ showing her sexy butt impressed huge number of people. But those butts became sexy only after she got cellulite removed from her fat bums. Apart from the butt she has also got under the knife for chiseled jawbone, since then she has sleek looking face and thin jawline.

Bipasha Basu

Dusky beauty Bipasha Basu is no less; she has gone for silicon implantsfor breast enhancement for good three inches to get a big cleavage. Beside the implant she had got an ear job done too.

Sushmita Sen

The long lady Sushmita Sen is said to be the first one in present line of actresses to go under knife to get a silicon implants done. She even proudly admits about getting siliconimplants and says it’s for her better physical appearance.

Preity Zinta

Pretty Preity Zinta got prettier when she underwent facelifts. Liposuction helped her to look sexy and hot. Medical secret liposuction was the wonder behind her ’kiss ready lips’ in KANK. She also got her laughter lines removed.

Kangana Ranaut

According to her getting surgical implants and cosmetic surgery is all about faking something which a person doesn’t have. She believes that people should like her the way she is. But Kangana’s voluptuous look and wholesome face says something else.

She confidently denies that too and clarifies it by telling that she looks different because she had put on weight. One can increase weight and look hefty but the difference in her nose is clearly visible which contradicts her views.

These are only a few examples. There are many more such cases that keep taking place specially in the glamour world. I agree one needs to look good and pretty when one faces the camera all too often. But isn't getting something artificially done, in a way, is going against how mother nature has made one? Why can't one be contended with what one has? I am an ardent believer of 'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder'. What about you? Any takers for Cosmetic Beauty?
