Overview
- Rathee released a video titled The FAKE Beauty of Bollywood Celebrities on Thursday, alleging widespread cosmetic enhancements and skin-lightening in the industry.
- He named Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu, Shilpa Shetty, Kajol and Priyanka Chopra, attributing lighter complexions to glutathione injections.
- The video spread on Reddit, where Padukone’s fans disputed the claim and cited lighting, makeup, tanning trends, skincare and camera quality as explanations.
- Many social media users criticized Rathee for focusing on a celebrity’s appearance and argued that any cosmetic choices are personal.
- The dispute follows his recent takedown of Dhurandhar that drew backlash, with director Aditya Dhar boosting a post seen as a dig at a ‘video maker,’ and the treatment claims remain unverified.
