Away from the public glare, Anushka Sharma is living a life more surreal than her dreams. Anuradha Choudhary meets up with her in exotic brussels
She’s surely the biggest head-turner around. Asians are thrilled on spotting her. A wave of elation runs through. ‘That’s Anushka,’ A Pakistani proclaims loudly stating he’s a big fan of Virat Kohli and her. Phones come out instantly to capture her.

Not surprising. Considering, she’s gleaming like a Greek goddess. Her alabaster skin is luminous. Her statuesque figure stands out in public. She’s sporting a chic haircut.

It’s been a tiring day of work but that hasn’t ebbed her natural ebullience. We’re sitting in a suite, Woody Allen has just checked out of leaving behind a whiff of emotion. Anushka hasn’t signed a movie for a long time now. A break that’s unprecedented in a career that began when she was 21. She says she needed this break.

You can catch it a mile away. Our chat swings from her career to her personal life, cutting away at conjectures and slicing through rumors of her pregnancy. Read on:
