Ae Dil Hai Mushkil video: Anushka Sharma talks about her 17kg lehenga

Anushka says in the video, “So the lehenga was 17kg and then there was heavy jewellery. I looked like a beautiful bride but certainly didn’t feel like one. I had to walk up and down the stairs in that lehenga, it was very difficult. The clothes were heavy, everyone felt sorry for me.I had to walk on my toes and my calves were getting worked out.”

Even as Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) continues protests against the film, makers of Karan Johar’s directorial venture Ae Dil Hai Mushkil are leaving no stone unturned to keep the buzz around the movie going.
