/> Priyanka has not lost weight to play the fashion model in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion.

"It's the silliest story I've heard about myself in a long time....on a par with the one about me being in Sydney with Harman Baweja for the New Years when I was actually shooting an ad in Bangkok.

...No, nobody has TOLD me to do anything for the role in Fashion. Madhur Bhandarkar and I have a extremely great rapport. He didn't ask me to get gaunt for the character."

However Priyanka has worked on herself for her next two roles. "I always like to work on my character.That's why I work on one film at one 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 (featuring Priyanka with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham)....

It's set on the beaches of Miami— imagine two months in the sun and sand-- 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 emphasizes she hasn't lost weight for her two films this year. "It isn't about getting thin at all. It's just about toning my body. I do not endorse anorexic figures. 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 naturally healthy. And by that I don't mean hispanically 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."

Priyanka's co-star Kangana Ranaut in Fashion is inherently reed-slim.

Priyanka laughs, "Yes. But she loves her food. She just has her own individual body type. Kangana and I share plenty of health tips.

We got along really well. I really think she's sweet. When Madhur decided to cast Kangana I was so happy. She really really suits her part....

So the other story that really bugs is that we're fighting over scenes in Fashion. On the contrary we've a lot of fun together."
