Rakul Preet Singh Calls Out Social Media ‘Doctor’ Over Cosmetic Surgery Claims, Flags Misinformation
Digital Desk
The controversy erupted after an Instagram user, identifying himself as Dr. Prashant Yadav and claiming to be a certified cosmetic surgeon, posted a video analysing Singh’s appearance. Comparing her older photographs with recent visuals, the user alleged that the actor had undergone procedures such as Botox, facial fillers and a nose job. The post quickly gained traction, prompting a sharp response from the actor.
In a public statement shared on social media, Singh accused the individual of spreading false information without evidence. Labeling the post a “fraud alert,” she expressed concern over people presenting themselves as medical professionals while making unsubstantiated claims. She said such content not only misleads audiences but also undermines trust in qualified doctors.
Singh clarified that physical changes can result from factors such as fitness routines and weight loss, and not necessarily cosmetic intervention. While she said she does not judge individuals who choose medical procedures, she objected to speculative claims presented as expert analysis. “Beware of such doctors,” she cautioned, urging people to question credentials and intent before accepting online medical opinions as fact.
The incident has reignited debate around ethical boundaries on social media, particularly the growing trend of public figures being subjected to unsolicited medical assessments based on appearance alone. Industry observers note that actors, especially women, are increasingly targeted by such commentary, raising concerns about privacy, misinformation and professional accountability.
On the professional front, Singh was recently seen in “De De Pyaar De 2”, co-starring Ajay Devgn. Earlier this year, she also appeared in “Mere Husband Ki Biwi” alongside Arjun Kapoor. While both films had modest box office outcomes, Singh continues to maintain a steady presence across film and digital projects.
The actor’s response has drawn support from fans and peers alike, with many calling for stricter scrutiny of online medical claims and clearer accountability for those making them.
