Mumbai:
Anushka Sharma isn't what you'd describe as chubby or even remotely curvy. But she has been asked to get leaner and toned than ever before!
The reason? Yash Raj Films has asked her to shed any extra inches gained before she begins shooting for her next film Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. The actress has had a long break after the shoot of her last project Band Baaja Baraat.
The production house is very strict when it comes to the fitness of their heroines. While signing a film, their contract insists they be of a certain weight and have a specific Body Mass Index.
A source said, "A foodie she binged on her favourite delicacies and let herself go. YRF has instructed her to go slow. The actress began working out with her trainer and got a toned look. Since she has a high metabolism rate, losing weight quickly isn't a problem."
Those who have worked with the banner insist that they are pretty weight-specific when it comes to the women. "Every one from Kareena to Deepika have followed the YRF diktat of getting the right digits on the weighing scale. It's a rule they don't let anyone break," added the source.
The YRF spokesperson remained unavailable for comment.
