Actress Anushka Sharma, who is being talked about for her
fuller lips, denies going under the knife for the new look. She attributes her
changed looks to a temporary lip enhancing tool for her role in the forthcoming
film "Bombay Velvet".
The rumor started after Anushka, who made her Bollywood
debut with "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", appeared on "Koffee With
Karan".
The 25-year-old took to micro logging website Twitter to
deny news of having undergone cosmetic surgery.
"...Lately there has been a lot of talk about me in
this particular episode of 'Koffee with Karan'. Mainly regarding my lips. I am
here to just convey what I have to say regarding the same. I am talking about
it only because this story has taken a scary direction and things have been
'blown out of proportion' (pun intended)," Anushka posted Monday night.
"For a short while now, I have been using a temporary
lip enhancing tool and that along with make-up techniques (I have learnt over
the years) is the reason why there might be a change in the appearance of my
lips.
"...Let me assure everyone that I have by no means gone
'under the knife' or done any kind of 'plastic surgery' or undergone any
intrusive procedure. This was my decision and was done for the sake of my look
in my upcoming film 'Bombay Velvet', a period drama where I play a jazz singer
in the 1960s-1970s. And it was taken from the referencing of that time,"
she further added.
The "Band Baaja Baaraat" star further told that
her changed looks on the show "is due to lot of factors put together"
and not just her lips, and she doesn't think that she was at her best in terms
of her looks.
She told that she is setting the record straight once and
for all.
"To put the current conjecture and reportage straight
once and for all - I do not believe in plastic surgery or any other means of
unnatural permanent changes to the body. I do not support it or stand for it or
recommend it," she wrote.
The actress gets support from her contemporaries Sonam
Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
Sonam posted, "Kudos to Anushka Sharma for addressing
unfair criticism head on... have always admired her as an actor and now I
definitely admire her as a person."
Alia wrote, "Way to go Anushka Sharma. People are
dealing with a strong girl here so say what you want... nothing is bringing her
down."
Karan Johar, host of "Koffee With Karan", also
praised her.
"Anushka Sharma is a powerhouse of talent and the
downside of social media cannot and will not take away the core of her creative
existence," he posted.
