She’s cut a swathe in the movie business. Toplining every event movie in the country, Anushka Sharma says that dedication and focus are the new mantras for success. Anuradha Choudhary listens in
Like always, she’s talking 200 words per minute. Words coil around each other, as she leaves a trail of unfinished sentences. And yet the clarity of her thoughts shine through. She talks with passion, with integrity and a dash of humour uniquely her own. You want to hear her talk. Because you know it’s not coming from a space of pretence or artifice.

You can’t blame her for trying to protect her privacy, after the way the media went hammer and tong at her.
We are sitting in her 20th floor apartment in the ’burbs. Dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, without an iota of make up on her, she looks like she’s never had a bad hair or bad skin day ever.

She refuses to crow about her achievements neither is she coy about them. She wears them as casually as her white shirt. She admits she’s a reluctant star. If she hankers for something, it’s her peace of mind. That’s what floats her boat. And that what adds to her appeal. Excerpts from a freewheeling conversation...
