'Everything we have is natural; we'd have to get Botox there' In the viral video, the actresses are seen getting their makeup and pedicure done on the set when the conversation turns to cosmetic procedures. One of the actresses jokingly asks Rani Chatterjee which Botox treatment she had undergone. Surprised by the question, Rani replies, "Do Bhojpuri actresses even get Botox?" Amrapali Dubey then joins the conversation with a smile, saying that everything about them is natural. Rani adds, "Everything we have is real. I think if we worked in Bollywood, we'd have to get all of this done. Over there, people even undergo surgeries to change their faces." Their remarks were made in a light-hearted conversation but have since gone viral on social media. Take a dig at lip fillers and fake accents As the conversation continued, another actress joked about lip fillers, saying some actresses get cosmetic procedures to make their lips look "like a duck's."

Her imitation sent everyone on the set into laughter, and the clip has since gone viral on social media. Joke about Pawan Singh's reaction The conversation later shifted to Bhojpuri Power Star Pawan Singh. The actresses joked that if they ever got cosmetic procedures like some Bollywood celebrities, Pawan Singh would be shocked to see them.
