Anushka Sharma a Size 8? Yeah Right

Forget the modeling career. Forget the films. In the future Anushka Sharma will be known for one thing and one thing only: being the size zero actress who had the cojones to try and tell a reporter she was a size 8.

No one's buying it Anushka.

In an interview with DNA today the waifish slip of an actress fended off rumors of an eating disorder. Asked to comment on her weight she replied, "I am a lean, tall girl with big muscles." She then rather indignantly batted down any talk of her being "sub-size zero" by claiming that there was no such thing as a size zero (um, hello... does the name Kareena Kapoor mean nothing to you?) and that she herself was a UK size 8 (a US size 4-6).

It'd be one thing if Anushka (or any other actresses for that matter) would just be honest and say that with the demands of their jobs, the stress, the constant traveling, etc., it's natural to lose a bit of weight. But to try to pretend you're four sizes larger than you are in defense of criticism about your weight, when anyone can see otherwise, is absolutely ridiculous.

Her weight wasn't the only thing Sharma was defensive about. When asked about an alleged rivalry with Bollywood newcomer Sonakshi Sinha, Anushka exclaimed, "I'm not going to sit and fight with her for a boy!" (an interesting announcement considering no one asked her about any boy?in this case she's obviously referring to Band Baaja Baaraat co-star Ranveer Singh, who has been linked to Sinha). She also derided Sinha for only having done one film so far.

It's tempting to say that Anushka Sharma is starting to get too big for her britches... metaphorically at least!
