Her
look on Koffee with Karan earned Anushka Sharma the sobriquet of 'joker lips'.
Tweeples wondered if it was a lip job or if she has been accidently hit by the
bat of alleged boyfriend Virat Kohli. The speculation began after the teasers
for Karan Johar's show first appeared on TV and has not ended even days after
the show was aired.
Even a
statement from Anushka's spokesperson denying a lip job failed to help.
"Her competitors are planting stories. People are surprised because they
haven't seen her in a long time as she was busy shooting. It's makeup - Anushka
uses a lip plumper," the statement said.
The
actor has now cleared the air with a really long tweet in which she says,
"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."
She
goes on to say that lip enhancing has been part of her 'look' for Anurag
Kashyap's Bombay Velvet where she plays a jazz singer in the '60s-'70s.
"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," she adds.
She has
also recieved support from Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor and Karan Johar -- the host
of the show where Anushka's 'new look' -- on her gutsy step to take on the
criticism head on. While Alia called her a 'strong girl', Karan and Sonam also
applauded Anushka for her response.
There
was no stopping Tweeples though which continued to have a big laugh. A few
examples...
They

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
