While many actors would refrain from ever admitting to getting anything done on their faces, actor Harsh Chhaya says that it was Botox injections that helped him look younger for his show Gyaarah Gyaarah. Reacting to claims of his getting Botox injections for a few scenes on the show, he says that it was to look younger as that was what the story required.
Gyaarah Gyaarah has recently released on Zee5 to a very good repones. Based on the theme of time travel, the story shifts into two different time periods, 16 years apart, between 2001 and 2016.
“It was just by chance that in my shooting schedule, the older part got shot first and the younger part was shot later. During that break, I was trying to figure if one could do something about the age gap, I tried with make up but it did not work then I thought may be I could try some Botox to get rid of the frown lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes,” he says.
He adds, “I consulted a very reliable cosmetologist and understood how it works, I was told that the Botox will remove the frown lines and it’s effect will slowly fade away in about two to three months, so that was a relief because I did not want to lose my frown lines forever.”
He further adds that actors do try different things to try and work on characters both emotionally and physically. “I always enjoy this process it makes the experience more immersive and satisfying, it is also about what an actor gets to the table apart and over what is offered to him and this was one of my investments in the part for Gyaarah Gyaarah.”
