Anushka Sharma: I've been using a temporary lip-enhancing tool and makeup

'The drastic change in my appearance on KWK is due to lot of factors put together and not just my lips.'

'Everyone goes through good and bad days. Did I think I looked good on the KWK episode ? NO. I do feel I could have done things differently,' Anushka Sharma quells plastic surgery rumours with a Twitter post.


Karan Johar incessantly teased Anushka Sharma about the new love in her life (for the uninitiated, it's Indian cricketer Virat Kohli according to recent reports) on his show Koffee With Karan recently.

Anushka spent the better part of the show diligently ignoring all the good-natured ribbing and carefully considered everything she said on the subject.

The Bombay Velvet actress, however, had little cause to worry about her dating life being discussed on national television because the episode unwittingly triggered a discussion on her mysterious-looking pout.

While everybody speculated if she'd gone under the knife, Anushka Sharma decided to address the issue by sharing an explanation with her Twitter followers.

'I do not believe in plastic surgery'

Anushka Sharma on Koffee With Karan

Here's what Anushka posted on Twitter.

Hellooooo everyone !! Today I am here to talk about my lips !! Yes ! There ! I said it .. My lips !

As a person I find it difficult to talk about my personal life and hence have always maintained a low profile choosing to interact with you all on twitter with my random -mostly illogical thoughts seeming like the only thing I feel ok about ..that's just who I am ..

But in today's time where PR stories and feeding people with information constantly or making appearances is a fad somewhere people like me get lost in translation or in this case translations !

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 ;) ) ...

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.

Having stated this fact let me very vehemently 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 1960's - 70's . And it was taken from the referencing of that time .

The drastic change in my appearance on KWK is due to lot of factors put together and not just my lips . Everyone goes through good and bad days. Did I think I looked good on the KWK episode ? NO . I do feel I could have done things differently .

To put the current conjectures and reportage straight once and for all from my end - I have said this before and am saying it again .. 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 .

Now if someday my legs appear different and sexy to you ! Please don't say I've done 'Something' ...
Oh ! And also ... Some of the 'joker' jokes/memes doing the rounds though a bit mean did bring a smile to my lips ;)

Goodnight to all

Love and Light

Anushka
