Having been trolled for her ‘changed’ looks, the Yeh Meri Life Hai actress Shama Sikander says that although she doesn’t owe an explanation to anyone, yet for the record, she hasn’t gone under the knife. “There is no plastic surgery involved in my case. I don’t know why people say I got plastic surgery done, when it is just cosmetic procedures. When people saw me I was a growing up girl. So certain physical changes were still going on. But from now on if I change completely then you tell me,” says Shama, who looked quite unrecognizable sometime back when she posted a 10-year challenge picture on her social media handle.

“I work out right, I eat right and I meditate, so the change on my skin is also because of this. People didn’t see me for so many years when I had gone out of the industry and was going through depression. I have taken botox treatment but that doesn’t come under the category of a corrective surgery. I have not gone under the knife. At the same time, people shouldn’t be bothered at all if any actor or actress is going for plastic surgery. At the end of the day, it is their hard earned money. People can of course have opinions, but trolling I don’t understand. Trolls rarely affect me now, all thanks to the meditation that I practice on a regular basis. That helps me keep calm.”

Coming back to the professional front, Shama was last seen in the TV show Baal Veer. “My television journey has been phenomenal. I was a teenager when I entered the industry. I have grown up here. A large part of my life has been spent here,” she said.
