During the interview, when asked, “Your puberty must have happened on set, right?” Avneet responded, “I feel like I’ve grown in front of the camera. Sometimes, I still feel so weird when people say, ‘Oh, she’s had so much done to her face,’ or ‘She’s changed so much,’ or ‘She looks completely different.’ Well, when you saw me, I was 7 or 8 years old, literally a little kid. There’s a huge difference between then and now. Like, now I’m 23, there’s bound to be a difference. You hit puberty, your features change, and you grow up.”
The host then asked, “Working at a certain age may make you look older, right?” To which Avneet replied, “Yeah, obviously.” She further clarified that she has not had any fillers. “I don’t get fillers, but I get facials, and I definitely take care of my skin. I do everything to tighten my skin. I haven’t done anything to change my features, like getting a different nose. Nothing like that has happened to me. I have decent features,” she stated.
