Nivetha Pethuraj Reveals Why She Gave Up the Idea of Lip Surgery

Actress Nivetha Pethuraj, who became familiar to Telugu audiences with Mental Madhilo, has opened up about some challenging experiences from her personal and professional journey. She revealed that in 2023, a combination of personal circumstances and decisions led her to experience depression and panic attacks. During that period, she even considered stepping away from acting permanently. Nivetha said she once thought about moving to the Himalayas and spending time in meditation if she did not receive further opportunities in films. However, circumstances eventually improved and she returned to work with renewed focus.

Nivetha also recalled that early in her career, she was unhappy with certain aspects of her appearance and considered undergoing lip surgery. After consulting a doctor, she was strongly advised against the decision and was warned about possible health complications. She said watching actresses such as Sai Pallavi and Nithya Menen succeed while embracing their natural appearance helped her rethink her own concerns. Nivetha is currently part of Trivikram Srinivas’ upcoming film Aadarsha Kutumbam, where she is playing a key role.
