Riva Arora Underwent Surgeries And Growth Hormone Injections? Actress Looks Unrecognizable And Beyond Her Age: ‘Her Mother Is Exploiting Her So Badly’
Did you know, that child actress Riva Arora made her acting debut with the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Rockstar 2011? Riva was merely a half years old when she starred in the film. After working in a slew of television commercials, she was also a part of films like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Mom.

Today, Riva is quite a popular name on social media and she has been enjoying a fanbase of more than 9 million followers on Instagram. However, more than her acting spree, the actress often hits the headlines for her age and growth, and this time was no different.

A Reddit user shared a picture of Riva and she was seen posing with an elderly man. The young actress looks completely unrecognizable as Riva was dressed in a brown-hued body-hugging top which she paired with a white printed skirt. 

However, it was her grown-up look that grabbed many eyebrows. Sharing the picture, the user penned: "Dang, is she on HGH (Human Growth hormone) injections? Seems like the case of Hansika Motwani, your thoughts? (IN FRAME : Riva Arora)"


The young actress is often accused of taking synthetic growth hormones to look older, leading to a controversy around her age. Shortly after Riva’s picture surfaced online, netizens took a dig at her as some people pointed out that they couldn't recognise the actress, and others slammed her mother for sexualising her at the age of 13.

In a previous interview with Indian Express, Riva talked about the negativity that she receives on social media and revealed how she has been dealing with the trenchant criticism of late.

For the unversed, netizens were upset with a music video where Riva was seen romancing Karan Kundrra while it was claimed that she was only 12 years old. Talking about her real age, she said that she's not 12 and her age would be revealed soon.
