Anushka Sharma’s Lip Job
No one is born with all the perfections. Anushka Sharma left no stone unturned to look perfect and flawless just like many other actresses in Bollywood but failed miserably when her lip job became a disaster.
Unlike others, she was bold enough to accept that, this act of boldness made her more beautiful. She got her lip job done for her movie “Bombay Velvet.”
Once in an interview, she said “I have nothing to hide. So when I spoke about my lip job, a lot of people called me brave for coming out. But I did what I had to. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t; I had to take ownership. I wanted my fans to know that I’m human and not perfect”
She was bold and balanced at the same time in giving her statements. These acts made fans love and accept her happily. More than an actress she is a good human who loves spending time with family. She once said that they all at least make sure to have brunch together at weekends.
