BOLLYWOOD INTERVIEWS
New Delhi,
Oct 5, 2017
After stepping into Bollywood in 2008 with superstar Shah Rukh
Khan-starrer "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" to producing films and now owning a clothing
line, actress Anushka Sharma has been on a roll. She says she has more ambitions
to fulfil and hopes to develop her business ventures with a vengeance.
Anushka ventured into film production in 2014 and earlier this month, she
launched her clothing line Nush.
"I feel happy with what I have achieved so far, but I have miles to go and more
ambitions. I hope to develop my entrepreneurial ventures further," Anushka told
IANS over email from Mumbai, when asked about her career graph.
She says she wants to continue entertaining her fans.
"I want to continue working in roles and films that entertain, engage and are
viewed in posterity as creatively qualitative. I haven't achieved it all,
there's more to do in the years to come," added the actress, who had her first
modelling assignment for designer Wendell Rodricks in 2007.
The "NH10" actress, 29, who has worked with Bollywood's three Khans -- Shah
Rukh, Salman and Aamir, says rather than looking back at her journey and
contemplate, she prefers to use the learning to do better.
"I prefer to take learnings and acquired understanding from my years in the film
industry. Experience teaches you patience, consistency and persistence. I hope
these will always define my work," she said.
What has been more daunting -- being an actress, producer or an entrepreneur?
"None of it is daunting, all of it is very enjoyable and exciting. I love doing
all of it, and wish there was time to do even more," she said.
Anushka describes her clothing line Nush as "accessible high street fashion".
She says she wanted to create "everyday clothes for everyday events" and that it
is "built around Indian needs and sensibilities".
The line caters to all sizes from small to XXL.
"It caters to women and girls from all age groups and also to all senses of
styles," she said.
"We have been working on creating an apparel line for over a year's time. Now
that we are confident about the product and our distribution across India, we
have decided to go ahead and launch it," she said.
On the film front, Anushka's next is "Pari" and she says the role was
challenging.
"Let's just say the role challenged me and the film will hold up what we aim to
do at Clean Slate Films -- tell solid, engaging stories on cinema," she added.
She will also be seen with actor Varun Dhawan in the upcoming film "Sui Dhaaga -
Made in India", touted as a story of self reliance aimed to connect with every
Indian.
"It's very early to talk about 'Sui Dhaaga', but I am excited about the film,
and look forward to shooting it."
To be directed by Sharat Katariya and written by Maneesh Sharma, the film will
go on the floors from January next year. The film will hit the screens for
Gandhi Jayanti 2018.
