When Anushka Sharma admitted getting a ‘lip job’

When Anushka Sharma admitted getting a 'lip job' for 'Bombay Velvet': 'I’m human and not perfect'

Anushka Sharma made her acting debut in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ in 2008 and quickly became one of Bollywood’s most admired stars. With her talent, charm and outspoken nature, she carved her place as a favourite among audiences. Yet in 2014, she found herself in the spotlight for something other than her films. Her appearance on ‘Koffee With Karan’ left fans talking about her noticeably fuller lips, sparking endless speculation.

Anushka Sharma’s lips sparked chatter

The buzz began when Anushka appeared on filmmaker Karan Johar’s popular chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’. Her fuller lips caught everyone’s attention, sparking endless conversations about whether she had undergone cosmetic treatment.At the time, the ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ actress responded on X by saying that she had “been using a temporary lip enhancing tool” and wanted to “assure everyone” that she had not “gone ‘under the knife’ or done any kind of ‘plastic surgery’ or undergone any intrusive procedure.”

Anushka admitted lip job in later interview

Two years later, in a 2016 interview with Vogue, Anushka decided to address the matter head-on. She openly admitted that she had opted for a ‘lip job’ for her role in ‘Bombay Velvet’.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 for my role in Bombay Velvet. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t; I had to take ownership. I wanted fans to know that I’m human and not perfect.”

Anushka Sharma on the work front

Anushka was last seen in a full-fledged role in the 2018 film ‘Zero’. She later appeared in a short cameo in the 2022 film ‘Qala’. Her next project ‘Chakda ’Xpress’, based on the life of cricketer Jhulan Goswami, was announced but there have been no updates on its release.

Anushka Sharma’s life in London

In December 2017, Anushka married cricketer Virat Kohli in a much-talked-about wedding. The couple soon began a new chapter of their lives together. They were blessed with their daughter, Vamika, in January 2021 and later welcomed their son, Akaay, in February 2024.At present, Anushka has taken a break from acting to enjoy personal time with her husband and children. Recently, she and Virat were spotted in London, where they were seen spending a sunny day together. A video showed the couple strolling casually, warmly interacting with locals, and enjoying relaxed moments away from their otherwise hectic schedules.
