Actress Anushka Sharma says experimenting with roles has been
a mainstay in her career from the start.
Anushka spoke to the media here
on Monday on the sidelines of an event organised by Standard Chartered Bank,
where she was announced its brand ambassador.
In a promotional campaign
for her latest endorsement, Anushka plays the triple role of a daughter, mother
and grandmother.
On the experience, Anushka said: "I have always tried to
experiment with my roles right from the beginning.
"This year, I am doing
films in which all my characters are very different from one another in terms of
physical and emotional appearance. So, when you get to do that in an
advertisement, you feel great.
"Playing a triple role was something which
I had never done before, so I was very excited. It takes a lot of time while
doing prosthetic make-up, but the end result was great. So, I was all up for
it."
Anushka's upcoming Bollywood projects include "Zero" and the biopic
on Sanjay Dutt.
"I am really happy that this year, I am doing different
kind of films and both films are going to release very soon. As far as the Dutt
biopic is concerned, that's one film that the audience will be very excited
about and will be happy while watching it.
"I recently saw a teaser of it
and I really liked it. I am doing a cameo in it. Nevertheless, I am really
looking forward to watching the film."
The actress-producer also shared
her thoughts on the ordinance to introduce death penalty for rapists of
children, after the nationwide uproar on Kathua and Unnao rape cases.
"I
was deeply hurt and affected by the incident. Even now, when I think or talk
about it, I feel disgusted and extremely emotional. I feel the most severe
punishment has to be meted out to the people involved.
"The most severe
punishment should be served to those who spoil something as innocent as a child
because it's the worst thing that a human being can do."
