Mumtaz admits to using face fillers
The 77-year-old actress recently told Bombay Times that even today, she follows a strict fitness routine that helps her stay in shape. She shared, “I eat at 7 pm, work out for over an hour, and follow a proper diet. If you don`t work out, you won`t look good.”
Mumtaz also opened up about her opinions on using beauty enhancements and her views on ageing gracefully. She said, “I have not done any facelifts, but sometimes when I am too tired, I do use fillers on my left and right sides of my face. Usse chal jata hai ek do mahina. I do it once every four months. I don`t feel the need to go under the knife, till now.”
For the unversed, face fillers, also known as dermal or soft tissue fillers, are injected into the face to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are a widely known non-surgical cosmetic procedure used to restore lost volume due to ageing, reducing wrinkles and improving facial symmetry.

She said, “If you feel there is anything less in you, then you must rectify it. It is not a crime to change it. Everybody wants to look good and beautiful. Even if I feel like I need something I need to work on, I will change it. Even if I have to do a plastic surgery, I will do it. If that makes me look beautiful, why not? Everybody should do it.”
