Actress Shama Sikander had been under the scanner for allegedly undergoing cosmetic surgery to enhance her looks. Last year, she was brutally trolled when she took up the ten-year challenge and posted a then and now picture on social media. After becoming a victim of social media bullying, Shama has now come out in the open to debunk all the gossip that has been going around her bodily looks.

Shama said that it is not necessary that you have gone for cosmetic surgery every time you change. Rather, she credits her mind for helping her evolve to a newer self.

'Accused? I am not some criminal standing here'

"Firstly, I don't understand these accusations. Accused? I am not some criminal standing here that I have done something wrong. They are not even sure if I have even done it. I don't see any reason to explain or to speak about this. It is my life. I can do whatever I want. Secondly, you have no idea what I have gone through," Shama told IANS.

It was in 2016 when Shama, who rose to fame playing Pooja in the 2004 slice-of-life TV show "Yeh Meri Life Hai", came out and spoke about her struggles.

She credits her mind for helping her turn a new leaf. "When I tell you this is the mind that has changed me, you don't believe me! So, I'd rather let them live with their lies and they can feel whatever they want to feel they can feel and understand," she declared.

"You cannot make the whole world understand what you have gone through because it is you who has gone through it and understand exactly what it is. It's is not necessary that you go under the knife every time people change," Shama added.

She continued: "If I change, does that mean I go under the knife every day? And I just keep changing every day? Have they lost it? So, I don't want to say anything to those people. It's their life."

She says she would rather focus on herself.

"I will think what I want to think. I would rather invest this whole time in making myself better, whichever way. I can and I will. I don't think I need to explain this to anyone," Shama told IANS.
