Style Icon: Anushka Sharma

Actor Anushka Sharma has all it takes to make any girl envious — she’s tall, she’s fit and has a million-dollar smile. The star, who debuted in Yash Raj’s production Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, has surprised us time and again with her versatile and quirky style sense.

Anushka, who has graced the covers of Vogue India and Harper’s Bazaar Asia, is a huge fan of Madhuri Dixit and once, ended up tearing her gorgeous Roberto Cavalli dress while rushing to see the Dhak Dhak girl perform live on stage at an awards function.

She looks beautiful effortlessly and reveals that she doesn’t go to lengths to achieve that. “Beauty is [about] being truly happy and confident from the inside,” Anushka told Time n Style magazine. However, to achieve that toned body, Anushka’s fitness regime includes intense weight training for an hour a day, five days a week.

The actor believes in individuality and advised her fans, in an interview with the New Indian Express, to not blindly follow celebs. “Just as you can’t blindly follow fashion, you can’t follow fitness. Don’t stress yourself out thinking, ‘I have to lose weight’ or look like Deepika or Priyanka or Anushka. Be yourself in whatever you do,” she said.
