'Skinny is not flattering'

...says actor Anushka Sharma about the controversies around her weight loss

Bollywood hottie Anushka Sharma's gaunt appearance at a recent party fuelled speculations of her having become sub size zero and an anorexic. There has been much speculations surrounding your recent weight loss. Comment. I have no clue really where this came from. I have always had a natural lean structure since the time I was a kid. Had you seen me before I became an actor, you would've found me to be even more thin. My father is lean and so am I — those are my genes. One and a half years back I started weight training because it makes me look toned and improves my posture. If I don't work out, I lose weight. That is my body type. I am lean, tall girl with big muscles. What about you being sub-size zero? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. There is nothing known as size zero. I am a size 8, UK. To call me sub zero is ridiculous. 8 is a very healthy size. Being skinny is not a compliment for someone who wants to put on weight, it's frustrating. The world is obsessed with being overweight. If you are happy the way you are its fine. Besides your weight, there's also been talks of rivalry with actor Sonakshi Sinha. I am completely clueless because I have met her once, socially. It is so disrespectful to compare me with a girl who has just done one film. I am not going to sit and fight with her for a boy, (Ranveer), it's so ridiculous!
