Priyanka Chopra denies having undergone cosmetic surgery

Rumours were rife that Priyanka Chopra had gone through cosmetic surgery.

"I know. I should've waited for my mom's clinic. I'd have got a discount," she joked.

Cosmetic surgery is a rage and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra's mother is all set to cash in on the trend. Madhu Chopra is busy setting up her hi-tech cosmetic-surgery clinic in Juhu suburb of Mumbai, which is going to open soon.

It's a dream project for the Chopras that Priyanka is pooling into with gusto. The clinic aims to be a one-stop cosmetic-surgery clinic with the most sophisticated surgery equipment.

"We've been getting the machines and equipment for the past one year. The process will continue for a while. But mom's clinic is ready to roll. We've named it Studio Aesthetic," Priyanka told IANS.

Priyanka's mother is so busy with the clinic that she didn't accompany her son Siddharth who has gone to Geneva to do a one-year culinary course.

"It was my dad who went with my brother. Mom can't leave right now. She's so heavily into her cosmetic clinic. It's on the verge of being opened.

"My brother has gone to study culinary arts at this institution on the outskirts of Geneva called La Roche College. During his year's stay he'll be learning everything to do with the restaurant business from hotel management to cooking. Dad has gone with my brother. But mom has been crying her eyes out. I miss him too," said Priyanka.

"But seriously, if I had gone through cosmetic surgery, I'd happily admit it. There's nothing wrong with it. But the fact is, what has happened to me is not surgery. It's polishing.", said Priyanka

"When I came in, I was raw and inexperienced about diet, workouts, makeup. Over a period of time I've understood my body face and mind. That shows in my appearance and performances," she said.

Priyanka is thrilled to receive the first of her best-actress awards for "Fashion".
