Who Is Dr Raj Kanodia? The Indian-Origin Surgeon Behind Khloe Kardashian's Nose Job
Khloe Kardashian is in the spotlight after a video analysing her facial transformation gained widespread attention. A UK-based cosmetic doctor, Dr Jonny Betteridge, compared her older photos to her recent look at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice. His video, posted on Instagram, listed several surgical procedures he believed she may have undergone over the years.
As the debate picked up, Khloe responded directly in the comments. The Good American founder insisted the speculation was inaccurate but confirmed she had undergone a nose job, fillers and other cosmetic work. She also gave a special mention to Indian-origin celebrity plastic surgeon Dr Raj Kanodia.
Dr Jonny Betteridge shared a side-by-side comparison of Khloe's photos. One photo was from Bezos' wedding and another from many years ago in order to highlight how her appearance has changed.
He wrote, 'A temporal brow lift to elevate the outer brow area, Upper blepharoplasty to smooth the upper eyelids, Rhinoplasty for a more sculpted nose, Lip filler to enhance volume and shape, A face and neck lift for overall tightness and definition, [and] A chin implant for lower face projection."
'She looks dramatically different from a few years ago, and whether you see it as a glow up or glam makeover, there's no denying she's created a bold new look for herself (sic)," the doctor added.
Khloe Kardashian Responds
Soon after, Khloe commented on the post, saying, 'I take this as a great compliment. First off I think these photos are about 15 years apart, but here's a list of things that I have done. I've been very open in the past about what I have done so here we go."
She confirmed she had undergone a nose job performed by Dr Raj Kanodia and went on to list some of the other treatments she has had. These include laser hair removal for her hairline and other areas at Sev Laser Aesthetics, soft wave laser for skin tightening at Software Therapy, and collagen baby threads under her chin and neck at The Things We Do.
The Kardashians star also mentioned that after getting skin cancer removed from her face in 2023, she received 'Botox and sculptra where my face tumor was removed in my cheek" at 70 Spa Laser + Aesthetic Center.
She ended her comment by saying, 'In 2025 there are many other things we can do before surgery but when it's time, and if I choose to, I know some great doctors," tagging Dr Raj Kanodia.

‘Jatadhara' First poster promises a haunting clash of divine & dark forces
The makers of Jatadhara have unveiled the film's main poster, offering a riveting glimpse into a high-concept mythic universe. Produced by Zee Studios and Prerna Arora under Ess Kay Gee Entertainment, the film stars Telugu actor Sudheer Babu and Bollywood's Sonakshi Sinha in powerful, never-seen-before avatars. A mythic supernatural epic rooted in Indian lore, Jatadhara promises a blend of mythology and cutting-edge cinematic storytelling. The poster sets the tone with a blazing trident piercing stormy skies, as Sudheer Babu's warrior stands ready for battle, under the shadow of Lord Shiva's mighty silhouette. Below, an eerie, upside-down realm reveals the Dhanapisachini — a demonic guardian of cursed treasure — promising a haunting clash of divine and dark forces. Directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal, the film is expected to be a visual spectacle powered by world-class VFX, AI-enhanced narratives, and a gripping screenplay. The teaser is set to drop on August 8, 2025. Produced by Zee Studios, Umesh Kumar Bansal, Prerna Arora, and others, Jatadhara marks Prerna's second collaboration with Zee after Rustom. With her track record of backing impactful films like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Padman, the film adds to her legacy of commercial yet meaningful cinema. Jatadhara is more than a movie—it's the beginning of a cinematic universe.

Allu Arjun falls for fake video of dance group ‘performing' Pushpa song on AGT, leaving Sofia Vergara shocked
Team Pushpa and actor Allu Arjun fell for a fake video claiming that the Indian dance group B Unique Crew performed to a song from the film on Season 20 of America's Got Talent. Both the actor and the film's team reacted to the video, while in reality, the dance group performed to a completely different song. Allu Arjun reacted to a video claiming an Indian dance group's performance to Pushpa song on America's Got Talent left Sofia Vergara shocked. Allu Arjun falls for fake video The social media handle of Pushpa posted a clip of the dance group 'performing' to the Pushpa song at AGT, writing, 'Icon Star @alluarjun's #Pushpa is a global phenomena. The 'B Unique Crew' performed for the #Pushpa song on @AGT Season 20 stage and the response was sensational. The judges hailed it as 'THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON'.' Arjun also posted the video of the performance on his X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram accounts, writing, 'Wow … Mind Blowing.' Interestingly, the video Arjun re-shared on his Instagram stories was posted by the official handle of B Unique Crew themselves, 'dancing' to the music of Daakko Daakko Meka from Pushpa: The Rise and the theme song, which probably caused the confusion. What did B Unique Crew really perform? However, the original video posted by America's Got Talent on its YouTube channel shows that the B Unique Crew did not perform to the Pushpa song; they performed to Believer by Imagine Dragons. One of the judges, actor Sofia Vergara, stood up in shock and held her head after watching their mind-bending performance. Host Terrence Lewis also looked shocked at what he had just watched. Sharing the video, the dance crew captioned it, 'We are B Unique Crew Proudly representing our nation on the world's biggest stage @agt America's Got Talent Season 20. And the judges said it loud — The BEST Performance of the Season!' The clip doing the rounds with the replaced Pushpa music is from when they auditioned for Season 20 of AGT. The judges and the crowd seemed impressed with their performance.

Mahavatar Narsimha roars at the box office, becomes India's biggest animated hit
Director Ashwin Kumar's animated mythological epic Mahavatar Narsimha is making waves at the box office, roaring past expectations and setting new benchmarks for Indian animation. In just 10 days, the film has earned a staggering ₹91.25 crore domestically, according to Sacnilk. It strikes a deep emotional chord with audiences through its powerful retelling of Bhakt Prahlad's devotion and the fierce Narasimha avatar of Lord Vishnu. Mahavatar Narsimha, an animated film by Hombale Films, has surpassed the collections of Kung Fu Panda and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Narsimha Mahavatar makes history According to the makers, the film has crossed 105 crore+GBOC India, making Mahavatar Narsimha India's highest-grossing animated film to date. Remarkably, it has even outperformed international animated giants like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Kung Fu Panda at the Indian box office. Released in both 2D and 3D formats and dubbed in five languages—Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi—the film has found its biggest success in the Telugu 3D version, which recorded an impressive 88.94% occupancy, followed by the Hindi 3D version with a strong 68.30%. This wide linguistic and format appeal has helped Mahavatar Narsimha cut across regional lines and attract a diverse audience. About Mahavatar Narsimha Backed by Kleem Productions and Hombale Films, the movie is not just a standalone success but the first instalment in a planned cinematic universe inspired by the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. Upcoming entries such as Mahavatar Parshuram and Mahavatar Kalki are already in the works, laying the foundation for a mythological franchise unlike anything seen in Indian animation. Despite facing stiff competition from high-profile titles like Saiyaara and Dhadak 2, Mahavatar Narsimha continues its strong theatrical run, buoyed by its rich visuals, emotional storytelling, and spiritual resonance. As the film's success story unfolds, industry watchers are optimistic: Mahavatar Narsimha may not only redefine Indian animation but also pave the way for a new era of culturally rooted, globally appealing storytelling from India.
