Rajkummar Rao rubbishes speculation about going under the knife, saying fans are abuzz with plastic surgery rumors after viral pictures from an event. The actor told news agency PTI, "I've never had plastic surgery. That image is morphed. Examining close-up pictures of the same image reveals its morphing nature. How can there only be one such picture in 14 years? It looks touched up because my skin looks so good, even without make-up after a day of shooting." Rao did own up to using fillers a few years ago, however. He shared, "About 8–9 years ago, I had a very minor procedure on my chin with fillers to feel better about myself and to make my chin look better. It has certainly been a great confidence booster, and my self-esteem has improved. However, it has not changed my insides at all."

Rao's filmography extends to movies such as "Shahid," "Kai Po Che!," "The White Tiger," "Gangs of Wasseypur: Part 2," "Love Sex Aur Dhokha," "Aligarh," "Trapped," "Bheed," and "Newton." He also starred in hits like "Queen" and "Bareilly Ki Barfi.

His upcoming filmography includes Mr. and Mrs. Mahi with Janhvi Kapoor, Srikanth with Alaya F, and the sequels Stree 2 and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.
