Responding to comments suggesting she had undergone a nose job or lip fillers, the actor shared an Instagram story video clarifying that she has not opted for any cosmetic procedures. In the video, Alaya said, “A lot of you guys think that I've gotten some surgery done — I'm getting like nose job and lip filler comments. I have not done anything, I promise. If I had, I would've told you. See, it's the same nose, same lips. Kuch nahi kiya hai maine. It's just the different lighting or it's good habits, hydration, lymphatic and face massages; I don't know.” She further added, “Surgery toh nahi kiya hai maine; if I had done it, I would've happily told you.

BREAKING: Ram Gopal Varma drops Sarkar 4 plans after Dhurandhar impact, announces fresh start with Syndicate

Ram Gopal Varma, who was all set to begin shooting Sarkar 4 with Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan from April, has now changed his plans following the impact of Dhurandhar and its sequel. “See, I don’t think Sarkar or any other gangster film will work anymore not after Dhurandhar. Earlier, all my gangster films were inspired by The Godfather, be it Satya, Company or Sarkar. Or else I was making films just for the heck of it. Why did I make Daud or Phoonk, or all those other films? Because I just wanted to keep making movies. I was cocky and arrogant enough to think I just needed to go on set and the film would come together,” Varma admits candidly. Dhurandhar and its follow-up have clearly altered Varma’s creative mindset. “People are asking me why I keep talking about Dhurandhar. It’s because of Aditya Dhar’s honesty of motive. He made Dhurandhar because he had a story to tell, not because he wanted to prove a point. I want to reset my clock. I feel about Aditya Dhar the way I ...
