Anushka Sharma is one of this generation's top actresses in Bollywood and one of the highest-paid celebrities in the country. known for beauty and bubbly charm, she has managed to make her way into the hearts of Indian audiences. Let's learn more about her fascinating life and her journey to stardom.
She initially started her journey as a model instead of with the goal of acting. Once Anushka graduated, she immediately moved to Mumbai and enrolled in a modelling academy to learn the art. When Anushka started taking on assignments, a realization set in her that she had an expressive face, it was just something that came naturally to her, and once things clicked, she immediately enrolled herself in acting school.
Initially, when Karan Johar first saw Anushka Sharma, he was extremely dismissive of her would be an understatement. Johar immediately called Aditya Chopra crazy for signing up an actress that has no discernible looks in his opinion. Not only that, he recommended to other producers to not take her in their movies. When her movie debuted, Karan remained dismissive of her, but when he saw Band Baaja Baaraat, it changed his opinion completely.
He gave her the opportunity in Bombay Velvet and even cast her as the female lead in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. They both have moved on from their rough beginnings and are now great friends. Karan Johar even graciously apologized to her in his show Koffee With Karan.
Her journey to be the lead actress in Rajkumar Hirani movies has been longer than most people would realize.
She first auditioned for Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. for the role of Suman Asthana, performing the emotional monologue in the film. Funnily enough, she managed to be a part of a Rajkumar Hirani movie but only as a background photo from modelling days.
She even auditioned for the role of Pia but once again didn't get cast in the role, and it went to Kareena. On the sets of PK, she managed to surprise everyone by showing off the audition tape to Aamir and Hirani.
It showcases how long-winded a journey can be for many actors. Ultimately people who deserve the limelight will get it one way or the other.
