# Mini Mathur calls Botox ‘worst decision’ 15 years on 2026-08-07T17:10:15+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Mini Mathur, 53, says getting Botox 15 years ago was the worst decision of her life. The actor and TV host, who recently won The Alliance and a Rs 50 lakh prize, recalled that she got the injection to smooth a forehead line for a jungle shoot. But the Botox froze her face for three months. She could not emote while acting, looking the same whether happy or sad. No one warned her that it would restrict her expressions, she told Times of India. She now cautions young people against cosmetic procedures driven by social media pressure. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: ageism, beauty standards, Botox, celebrity, cosmetic procedures, Mini Mathur Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mini-mathur-calls-botox-worst-decision-15-years-on/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
