Hansika Motwani says accusations about her getting growth hormone injections bear no truth: ‘I’m scared of needles, can’t even get a tattoo’

Hansika Motwani has been a celebrity from the time she started appearing on television shows as a child actor and decades later, with a successful career in the movies, she continues to be just as popular. And like many celebrities, Hansika has endured her fair share of trolls. In a recent chat, Hansika and her mother Mona once again addressed the rumours that the actor was given growth hormone injections so she could look older. The mother-daughter duo had previously spoken about it on Hansika’s wedding show Hansika’s Love Shaadi Drama.

Mona shared with Bollywood Bubble that it used to “hurt her a lot in the initial years.” “I was accused of giving Hansika injections for her to grow up. What is this injection? Tell me about it and I will be richer than Tata and Birla. Which mother can do such things? You tell me. Or just tell if there is such an injections that can grow your bones?” She added that a “stranger sitting in a dark corner who is envious and pays someone to write bad things about you, and people write. You don’t know who is writing bad stuff about you.”

Hansika Motwani also chimed in and said that this is “just part and parcel of you being a celebrity. This is something that you have to be ready for.” She said that when the rumours first started, they were “very unaware because this happened before social media was popular.” The actor added that all of this came back when her wedding series started and they addressed it on the show.

She said, “We were not going to hide it because there was no truth to it. Till today, I can’t take an injection. I can’t get a tattoo done because I am scared of needles. Why would a mother do that to someone? It’s just very clear that people are jealous of your growth but it’s okay. I think I’m doing something somewhere right that people are still talking about me, keep talking.”
