Actress Raiza Welson seeks ₹1cr from dermatologist

Tamil actress Raiza Wilson, whose facial procedure went wrong allegedly after her dermatologist "forced" her to undergo a treatment, has sought ₹1 crore in damages from the doctor.

She has said in her compliant that, Dr. Bhairavi suggested ‘wrong treatments’ to her with the purpose of extorting money. She called herself the ‘victim of a negligent act’ and claimed that the procedure put her life at risk.

She has filed a complaint against the doctor for allegedly putting her life at risk with wrongful procedure. Earlier, Wilson had shared a picture showing swelling in her eye after the procedure.

Hello, I consider Medical Practitioner yields humanitarian service to the public rather than extorting money from innocent people through false advertisement and promotion. Further, Doctors extorting money by claiming more than that prescribed by the medical rules from innocent people would also be unlawful. Finally, a doctor must respond to her patient’s request for assistance in an emergency, and the patient must not be neglected,” she wrote.

I approached Dr Bhairavi Senthil based on her advertisement on various social platforms to perform certain cosmetology procedures. I have suggested wrong treatments by Dr Bhairavi Senthil and her staff from the beginning of the consultation only to extort money. Also, I have been denied emergency treatment by Dr Bhairavi Senthil while my life was at threat due to their procedure. The shreds of evidence available to me (including a doctor examination) clearly shows that I am a victim of a wrongful procedure conducted by Dr Bhairavi Senthil. Hence an apology is ‘Untoward’,” she added.
