Anushka Sharma was one angry woman at her latest press interaction. The actress just couldn’t stand being labelled as ‘anorexic’ by various sections of the media. “I am offended. I am extremely angry. If I am anorexic, I’d be in hospital! I am tall. I am 5 foot 9 inches, 175 cms tall. I am lean, I am active and athletic. There are so many women who are naturally lean and so am I. I have been like this for the longest time. What hurts the most is the way these stories affect my family. They call me wondering what’s happening and it’s really sad. It’s extremely upsetting.
Just because we are actors doesn’t mean remarks like these don’t affect us! The remark was derogatory, if someone wants to say I looked or acted terrible in so and so film, it’s fine with me but why comment like this out of context,” retorted Anushka. The actress who did look waif thin even during the interview, reiterated, “I was asked to gain weight for ‘Rab Ne Bana di Jodi’ for the character that I played, otherwise I was always this thin.”
