Rajkummar Rao, who is currently seen in Anubhav Sinha's 'Bheed' in the role of a police office, during the promotion of the film addressed rumours of him going through plastic surgery to alter his appearance.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the actor was shown a comment from Reddit which stated, “Has Rajkummar Rao undergone plastic surgery?” Rajkummar denied that he underwent any plastic surgery and instead said, “Nahi bhaiyya, koi plastic surgery nahi hue (No, there was no plastic surgery).” The actor was further asked about his reaction to such rumours and he replied, "Kuch nahi smile aati hai chehre pe. Nice, log baat kar rahe hai (Nothing, I just smile. People are talking).”
