Dr. Devgan responds to the people who are against social media filters by saying “People are slamming the concept of Facetune and Photoshop and filters, I feel like if someone is bringing in a micro optimized version of their own face that’s a healthier body image place to start from than bringing in an image of a celebrity who has nothing to do with you; That’s like my philosophical take on that.”
