I don't like to talk about my personal life, so I will not talk about others. I don't give advice. I give advice to only my mother, father, and brother on health.
— Anushka Sharma
I have never planned my career here in Bollywood, so planning to do Hollywood films is a distant thing. You have to see how things come.
As a producer, I want to back projects, talents, and scripts that speak to me not just as someone from the industry, but as an audience.
My journey has been good, and by God's grace, I have not changed.
While I was shooting for 'NH10,' my hair had to look dirty in the film. To improve the texture... quality of hair, I had to use a lot of conditioner.
I feel there is a great sense of achievement coming from a non-filmy background. But when you are going through a low phase, you don't have anybody to advice you because your parents possibly can't advice you on that.
I know what soldiers or their families go through.
We shot many films in Delhi that turned out to be successful at the box office. So the attachment is definitely on the positive side.
I don't want to carry the burden of a flop. I don't fall into that trap.
'Jab We Met' is the reason why I have become an actress.
The decisions that you make in your career stem out from the experiences you have early on in your career.
The stereotypes attached to Bollywood were that it's a big, bad world or that it's a dirty world.
When you are not part of an industry, your knowledge of that field is based on what you read and hear and on the stereotypes that are attached to it.
I didn't like when people said that actresses have shelf life.
I am a very basic person. I still believe marriage happens only once, and you have to sustain it.
I want to be part of great cinema. That is my only aim.
As a viewer, I really want to watch author-backed stories, and there is something amazing about thrillers, the way it captivates your imagination.
My biggest fear is fear itself. I never want to be afraid of doing something I want.
I think if you want to do something, then you should go all out completely and be fearless.
I treat my acting career with a lot of respect.
I have got good films, and I am thankful to Aditya Chopra. He put a lot of faith in me.
We have to look good... our hair does get damaged due to straightening... tonging. We have to do something that helps our hair look good and healthy.
I find it really cheap when people talk about an issue just for the sake of talking and are not making any difference to the actual situation.
I will share a personal experience: my father was posted in Jammu & Kashmir during the Kargil war. I remember my mom sitting in front of television throughout the day reading tickers which had name of the martyrs.
It's difficult to judge yourself.
Having failures in life is important to understand where, exactly, you stand.
I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.
I have been trolled multiple times, and it doesn't affect me anymore.
I believe that if your film is good, and if you are good, you will do well.
I don't want to go and play a cliched Indian girl.
I feel things are changing now. Actresses are working at same pace even after getting married or having kids.
I never come to know if somebody is in love with me; they will have to hold placards and say it.
I enjoyed playing the dual role of an actor and producer.
Acting has always been my passion and will remain so.
I have never planned things in life. I believe in living life or doing things to the moment.
Wrestling is not an action; it is a sport.
Whenever I work on any Yash Raj film, I feel that they believed in me, and that's why I have been able to be in films today. I had no connection with movies apart from watching them.
I don't want to endorse products that propagate fair skin at all.
I think everything has its own pros and cons.
Being a soldier's daughter, I understand that what they are doing is the real deal. But me giving statement on the issue is of no significance.
Usually, I come for film promotions or events, but I have so many fond memories of Delhi.
I feel that's a good thing as an actor that you do not feel satisfied. Whenever I go back and watch myself on screen, I find multiple reasons to redo that scene. That's an occupational hazard that most actors face. You can never come to terms with it.
To work with the same director is a great feeling.
I feel that in spite of having a big launch with 'RNBDJ' and the film doing well for me in terms of getting appreciation, I don't think it made me the next big thing.
If you are chauvinistic mind, you will not be able to take the fact there is a strong, successful girl.
When you see the industry's fickleness so early on, you realise that you are only as good as your last release. It is all about your work. And that has set the way I look at my profession and what I do in my career.
Everything that I am going to do as an actress doesn't matter where it's coming from. It just has to be interesting.
I have done everything in my life very normally. And marriage is definitely there on my agendas in life. But I don't know when will it happen.
As an actor, you want to do your best but not overshine the film. No actor is above the film.
I really wanted 'NH10' to be made, and being associated with it eased the entire process.
