For months, social media has been rife with rumours that Priyanka Chahar went "under the knife" to prep for her new role. Fans and trolls alike pointed to her slightly different facial structure, with many assuming she had opted for fillers or surgery. Addressing the gossip in a recent interview with The Times of India, Priyanka explained that she spent a significant part of the last year battling health issues. To recover, she was prescribed heavy doses of antibiotics. While the medication helped her heal, it came with unexpected physical changes.

"All these things have been happening for a long time. I was on medication throughout last year and was given very heavy doses of antibiotics, but most people don't know that. It made me lose weight, but my face was bloated, even though people thought it was something else," she shared.

Priyanka emphasised that as a public figure, she is often judged for minor changes, even something as simple as wearing colored lenses or different makeup. She urged people to be more sensitive, noting that while she takes the comments sportingly, constant scrutiny over things like height or facial features can be deeply hurtful to others.

Understanding Medication-Induced Swelling

According to medical experts, what Priyanka experienced is a known phenomenon where the body reacts to intensive chemical treatments. A study published in the Indian Journal of Forensic and Community Medicine highlights how certain antibiotics, such as Ofloxacin, can trigger hypersensitivity reactions like angioedema (swelling under the skin), specifically affecting the lips and face.
