One evening, as Sangeeth Sivan was recovering from a stupor induced by bad music, he discovered that his heroine had been changed into a slightly less monstrous creature. He sat on his chair back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, her puffy, swollen face, unmistakably altered. Her two legs, pitifully thin in comparison to her bust, flickered helplessly before his eyes. [Franz, meet Bollywood.]

“It happened during the music launch of Ghai’s Shaadi Se Pehle. Yes, I did ask Koena what she had done to her face. She was looking very different from when I had seen her last, during the first schedule.”

“Koena told me that there was some problem with her teeth. She had had a tooth removed, and hence her face looked swollen.” Sivan said that Koena did not tell him that she had undergone any enhancement procedure. “But I have heard that Koena has had a facelift. People have been talking about it on the sets,” reveals the director. [Link]

Naturally enough, much strife followed the metamorphosis. On the sets of Sivan’s Money, Money, Money, Koena and Riya Sen got into a “cold war” with both of them accusing each other of getting facelifts.Unit hands say it wasn’t a pretty sight.

We are still trying to find out if the war got physical; and if so, if there was any ripping of clothes, and if so, if there was a cameraman nearby. We’ll let you know as soon as we find out.

The accusations were then followed by lame denials.

Riya: My face is my biggest asset, and it’s worth a fortune! I wouldn’t do anything to it…. If Koena is spreading rumours that I have had a facelift, it speaks volumes about her (Koena’s) insecurity… [Link]

Koena: “I take it as a compliment if people think I have gone under the knife to look good, when actually, it’s all natural. I have no cold war with Riya, and have nothing against her. For days, we sat, chatted and shared lunch on our sets; it’s been pure Bengali bonding.” [Link]

Bongs must be stranger than we thought…

But here is what puzzles us the most. Will someone take a look at these two pictures and tell us why people are discussing face lifts here?
