I share a very good rapport with Shah Rukh, so I was at ease working with him, and Imtiaz is a dream director for any actor.
— Anushka Sharma
I am not against two-heroine films.
I don't hide anything about myself, so I don't find it difficult to talk about things that happen in my life... But at the same time, I don't like putting myself out there too much. That's how I am.
I shouldn't feel awkward or feel disconnected to myself or my body while wearing the clothes or a particular fashion. This is very important.
After I turned producer, people asked me, 'Why are you taking up production? You are still so young and doing well.' Just because an actress decides to make movies, do people assume that her career is not going well?
As an actor, I am careless with the way I look on screen.
I am very practical. It's not like I will fall in love with someone standing far away.
In future also, we would like to back films that can be considered slightly risky since they don't have song and dance.
I can do a film only if it excites me as an actor.
It is so common in middle-class families to consider modelling and acting not serious.
I dont have a crush on anyone easily.
I dont understand flirting.
I want to do a biopic as an actor. It's a thrill... I would love it if I am able to do a biopic.
For me, it's not like I am going to look at the money the director's film has made before their film... For me, it is about working with the director whose work I have admired.
I don't think that a film should be known as 'male-centric' or 'female-centric,' but it should be known for the story. That would be really nice, and viable, too.
If I lead my life according to someone else, I've screwed my life up.
I was very young when I became an actor: I was 19 years old.
When we worked together for 'Band Baaja Baaraat,' Ranveer used to be very anxious and hyper on set. He used to do weird things, but now he is calmer, less anxious. He's a better actor now.
I understand that ups and downs in life keep wavering, and it's important to understand them and why they happen. So I learn whatever I have to and then move forward.
I'm an honest person and don't lead my life on other people's terms.
It is very important for me that my clothes are comfortable and allow me to feel like myself and at ease.
I love the work that goes into making a movie and creating a different world. It is a wholesome experience.
You can't go on telling, 'I am in love.'
My parents never gave me a nickname. But for my friends, I am everything from 'Nushki' to 'Nusheshwar.'
I think it is a wonderful process of transformation from an actress to a producer.
People who speak different languages, they are watching the movie from our language. So, I think all of us should be proud as nation and as cinema lovers.
I have never emulated any star or celebrity completely, and I hope nobody does the same of me.
I find Tom Hardy very hot. About Bollywood actors, I dont think like that, as I know them.
That is the beauty of working with Karan Johar: you are going to look your best.
I have nothing to hide. So when I spoke about my lip job, a lot of people called me brave for coming out.
I always do stories that I believe in, characters that I find interesting, and directors who I want to work with. All these factors have contributed while making choices and continue to as an actor and as a producer.
I'm not gonna give anybody the power to control my life.
I was never treated differently. I never felt like I was lesser or I was discriminated against. I've only experienced that after I became an actor.
Growing up, my parents treated my brother and me with absolute equality.
I would love to do a chick flick sometime soon, a film with strong female characters - when I say strong, I don't mean that they are changing the world, but just be real women.
I don't have any sense of inhibition, so I'm able to lead my life with a lot of honesty.
Style, to me, is an extension of one's personality, a kind of self expression which is very personal. It is an expression of your moods, your personality.
My style is a bit of what I like to call chic-casual. It is easy and comfortable.
I would watch films like 'Frances Ha' and 'The Squid and the Whale,' and wonder why we weren't making these beautiful slice-of-life movies. Then I thought, 'Why am I not doing it?'
If I know the guy is not interested, I don't fall in love. This is my safety.
For me, as an actor, it is brilliant that I can do both song-dance films and also something like 'NH10.' It is versatility which every actor aspires.
As an actor, I have tried to do new things, and that's why I have done few films.
One actress can't challenge or change anything.
I have no illusions of being an icon to young girls or anybody.
When my friends in college had crushes, I used to think something is wrong with them. I just chill out.
I am someone who doesn't pay so much attention to how I am looking. I get so involved in what I am doing, so I overlook that.
I wanted fans to know that I'm human and not perfect.
I think 'NH10' could have been done equally well by anybody else, and it's not a 'female-centric' or 'male-centric' film. It's the story that will appeal to the audience.
I tell myself that if I start to listen to these people and start to let them decide how I should behave and what I should do, then this is not my life - it's theirs.
A female newcomer and a male newcomer will get paid different amounts of money. You're a newcomer, nobody knows who you are, man or woman doesn't matter. But you're going to get paid different money.
