Priyanka Chopra fell into ‘deep depression’ after surgery left her nose botched

She said she had gone under the knife to get a simple polyp in her nose removed but "this thing happens, and my face looks completely different, and I went into a deep, deep depression." She wrote in her 2021 memoir "Unfinished," according to People magazine, "While shaving off the polyp, the doctor also accidentally shaved the bridge of my nose and the bridge collapsed.
