I'm constantly introspective: Anushka Sharma
Mumbai
April 5, 2017
Actress Anushka Sharma says career growth is important for
her, but she likes to be introspective in her pursuit of becoming a better human
being.
"I just want to become a better human being," Anushka
told IANS when asked if is there something she wants to achieve as a person.
"I think there is always scope of finding the best in
yourself and the shortcomings you have in person which might affect other people's
lives, which might hurt other people. I am constantly very introspective as
a person. I want to become a person (who) can be (of) help to others, not just
myself, where I can just make people happy and comfortable in my presence.
"Ultimately, growing in my career is important, but growing
as a human being is equally important," she added.
But isn't she bothered about the constant social media talk
related to her personal and professional life?
"I think everything happens for a reason. I also believe
that if god is throwing something difficult at me, he is also making me equipped
to be able to handle it. That's the beauty of living this life. It's about overcoming
difficulties and having faith, and time reinforces that," said the 28-year-old.
Anushka is currently enjoying the positive reviews of her second
production "Phillauri", released under her home banner Clean Slate
Films. She features in the film along with Diljit Dosanjh and Suraj Sharma.
Set in Phillaur, Punjab, the Anshai Lal directorial tells the
story of Kanan (Suraj), who is persuaded by his friends and family to marry
a tree to ward off the bad luck afflicting his love-life. To Kanan's surprise,
this awakens an ancient tree spirit Shashi, played by Anushka.
Anushka says she never makes a film with an idea of giving
a message -- like the way people are presuming about the film.
"There is absolutely no element of trying to break superstitions.
It's just an observation that we are making of superstitions. The film is about
a place from where the story starts and from where we introduce the ghost in
a logical way. I feel it's a funny take. The film is a love story at the heart
of it. It's a love story of a ghost," said Anushka, whose first production
was "NH10".
The actress, who made her debut with superstar Shah Rukh Khan
in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" and later starred with Aamir Khan in "PK"
and with Salman Khan in "Sultan", is loving working with relatively
newer faces in her latest film.
"We (the banner) want to work with new talent and new
people and we want to give opportunity to them as it adds to the freshness and
newness of a film. When you work with people who have a different sensibility,
it's exciting. Also it is exciting for us to engage with fresh talent and that
is something that worked out really well with us. We hope we continue to do
so with our films," said Anushka.
At this stage, the actress-producer is enjoying taking charge
of her life.
"I'm enjoying taking charge of my career and life, and
that's an empowering feeling. I get a creative satisfaction... The passion to
work and create movies, which is a very big thing for us... To collaborate with
young people.... It's very good space to be in," she said.
