Priyanka Chopra denies losing weight for 'Fashion'

Priyanka Chopra has denied reports that Madhur Bhandarkar asked her to lose weight for her role of a model in Fashion .

"It's the silliest story I've heard about myself in a long time," Priyanka said.

"No, nobody has told me to do anything for the role in 'Fashion'. Madhur Bhandarkar and I share great rapport. He didn't ask me to lose weight for the character," she added.

Priyanka has worked on herself for the role in Karan Johar ’s production that also stars Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham .

"I always like to work on my character. That's why I work on one film at a time. For 'Fashion' I opted for a toned body. I went on a health-conscious diet, though I didn't cut down on my food or anything. And I'll be using the same physique for my film with Karan Johar," she said.

"It's set on the beach of Miami. Imagine two months on the sun and sand and so the toned body would be just what the dietician ordered. But, sorry, I don't get into a bikini for Karan's film," Priyanka said.

Saying that she doesn't endorse anorexic figures, Priyanka added, "It isn't about getting thin at all. It's just about toning my body. I don't think you need to be reed-thin to be beautiful. I think Indian women look terrible when they try to get anorexic. We (Indian women) are naturally healthy. And by that I don't mean voluptuous."

"But, yes, we've been given a certain kind of figure. We're well proportioned and aesthetically endowed in all the right places. And by getting exceptionally thin, we're going against nature."
