While all of them burst into laughter, one of the hosts asked him where this 'insecurity' was coming from. Emraan answered the question by saying that cosmetic surgery has become a thing not just in the (film) industry but among ordinary people as well. Sharing that people now want to look like the poster boy or girl, Emraan said:
"It is a reality. I mean, the cosmetic business. Not just in the industry but it’s a thing that they marketed pretty well. Everyone wants to look like that poster boy or girl and there’s become this identity of what beauty is, right? And you want to mould yourself to that because that’s what gets the love and you feel good about yourself. Coming to cosmetic surgery, I haven’t gotten any, if you’re thinking."

After days of speculations, Rajkummar Rao finally cleared the air around the same and mentioned that the photos circulating on social media were 'fake'. He emphasised that he had never undergone any kind of jaw reconstruction or enhancement surgery. While speaking with India Today, the actor said:
"If you have seen that picture, it doesn’t even look like me. It was really funny because it’s not even me. I guess someone played a prank. I strongly believe that it was a touched-up image. People were using big words like plastic surgery, but I have never gone under the knife."
