Anushka Sharma willing to “become fat” for a role

Though many stars��are seen losing weight to portray certain characters, very few examples come to mind for actresses who put on weight for a particular role. ��Vidya Balan for ‘The Dirty Picture’ (2011) and Bhumi Pednekar’s debut in ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ (2015) made headlines for that very reason. ��Actress Anushka Sharma says she was willing to do this in her initial days in the industry, as she is courageous enough to do different things.

In an interview with��Hindustan Times, Sharma said, “Not too many people know that after my debut, I was offered a script that required me to become fat. I don�۪t know how that would have happened, because it�۪s very difficult for me to put on weight, but I agreed. I thought it was fun, unique and interesting. That film never got made, but the point is that even at that time, I had the courage to take up something different.”

It can be noted that Sharma was in the news quite a bit over the past year as she had enhanced her lips for her role in ‘Bombay Velvet’.

Though Sharma’s latest release failed to click at the Box Office, the actress is now looking forward to Zoya Akhtar’s family-entertainer ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, which is slated for release on 5th June.
