'I thought Imran was a paedophile'

Perhaps in a bid to live up to her free spirired image, Anushka Sharma at a recent press event held on Tuesday, landed her pretty foot in the mouth. In answer to a question about what she thought of her Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola co-star Imran Khan, the actress said, "I thought he was a paedophile," and giggled.
    For the next few seconds, everybody present at the event was rendered spechless. Imran, being a through gentleman, simply replied: "Yeah, I've heard such talks doing the rounds." But unlike Imran, people from the industry haven't been able to take the statement in good humour. A senior filmmaker who happened to see Anushka's outburst of cocky exuberance wondered if she knows the meaning of 'paedophile' saying, "Some things aren't done in civil society. Joking about paedophilia is one of them."
