Anushka's appearance at filmmaker Karan Johar's chat show in 2014 was trolled on Twitter with many speculating that she underwent a lip job.
The "Band Baaja Baaraat" star issued a statement where she said her fuller lips were the result of "lip enhancing tool" and "make-up techniques" she used for her role in "Bombay Velvet".
And in a recent interview to Vogue, Anushka 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."
"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. I have by no means gone 'under the knife' or done any kind of 'plastic surgery' or undergone any intrusive procedure.
