Social media influencer Komal Pandey has finally responded to netizens who accused her of getting lip fillers done after she made an appearance at the Thank You For Coming premiere along with her boyfriend on Tuesday night. Komal took to her Instagram handle and broke her silence on the incessant hate she received for her recent appearance.
In a lengthy post, she revealed that she decided to get lip fillers done four years ago as she was battling with body image issues. However, she said that she never went under the knife.
“You might want to ask me- Did you not feel beautiful? Did you not feel adequate? The truth is, I’ve battled with body image issues, and still do occasionally. At 25, I started my journey with fillers. Do I have any regrets? None whatsoever. Do I regret not discussing it sooner? No, because it was important for my personal growth. This is my body, and my choice of conversation, I very firmly believe is a matter of personal agency,” she wrote.
Komal said that she was ready to talk about it now as she currently has knowledge about what works for her. “I’d like to clarify that I haven’t undergone surgery. I’ve opted for lip fillers and some on my chin. I also briefly tried Botox but realized that it does not work for me. Additionally, my fitness journey has also contributed to changes in my facial appearance. I started to work out almost 4-6 days a week, made some lifestyle changes to manage my anxiety and my physical appearance.”
She went on to admit, “I am very well aware that my actions with my appearance can influence impressionable young women who follow me. However, it’s also crucial to understand that it was equally important for me.”
Reacting to trolls, Komal said, “People dissecting my face, hurling insults, and labeling me as ‘fake’, ‘plastic’ & ‘unbearable’ is a harsh form of critique that NO woman should endure… I’m not advocating altering your appearance to find confidence, nor did I get fillers because I didn’t feel beautiful. My choice was for my personal growth.”
