Power Diva

Articulate, simple and chatty is what best describes Bollywood’s current favourite Anushka Sharma. Kavita Shyam explores the sparkling side of this star in a quick tete-a-tete.

With her carefree attitude and personal style, Anushka Sharma has come a long way in seven unforgettable years in Bollywood. She has gone from being a girl-next-door to a complete diva. Besides, she has proven to be a lucky mascot for most of her filmmakers. Indeed she is supercool, impetuous yet perfectly balanced. Experimental and individualistic, Anushka gives us her take on matters which matter to her, from co-stars to fitness, health and the empowerment of women…

‘Sultan’ saw you starring with Salman Khan. What’s the experience been like?

I am surely thrilled to be working with Salman Khan. Frankly, there is nobody quite like him because of his persona. The film and my role is something that I’m extremely excited about, something I’ve been waiting to get my teeth into. To be working with all the Khans gives me a sense of pride. It is something that I can always look back on and be happy about. Given the experience they have, it’s a life changing event. I have learnt a lot from them, so I feel humbled.
