Anushka warns youngsters against blindly following someone else's body type.
"Yes, fitness is essential because while you get older you should have problems, you won't have the ability to be that active. Blindly seeking to become somebody's body type is solely stupidity," she said.
She also says that she is of course lean.
"There are all more or less body types. Some are obsessed to lose weight, but some are naturally thin and it isn't easy for them to position on weight. I'M naturally lean," she said adding that she eats constantly.
"I get hungry very often. I MUST eat constantly every two hours. Within the night, I HAVEN'T GOT to visit the kitchen as food is usually next to me. Though it is not a healthy thing, but sometimes it's OK," Anushka said.
