Anushka
Sharma
may
be
playing
a
wedding
planner
in
her
next
film
Band
Baaja
Baaraat
but
she
is
absolutely
clueless
at
this
point
of
time
when
asked
how
she
would
like
to
plan
her
own
wedding.
In
an
exclusive
interview,
Anushka
talks
about
her
3
film
journey
with
YRF,
her
role
as
a
wedding
planner
and
her
equation
with
newcomer
Ranveer
Singh.
Read
on!
After
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
and
Badmaash
Company
you
are
back
for
your
third
film
with
YRF
namely
Band
Baaja
Baaraat.
How
has
the
journey
been
so
far?
It's
been
fabulous.
For
someone
like
me
who
didn't
anticipate
entering
the
world
of
films,
and
now
working
with
one
of
the
most
premiere
production
houses
in
the
country
is
a
huge
high.
It's
been
a
nice
working
relationship
with
Yash
Raj
Films.
I
am
happy
that
I
am
working
with
people
whose
policies
and
values
I
respect
and
vice
versa.
What's
also
encouraging
is
the
fact
that
all
3
of
my
films
with
Yash
Raj
have
been
completely
different
from
each
other
and
it's
given
me
a
chance
to
portray
varied
characters.
From
the
looks
of
it,
Band
Baaja
Baaraat
seems
like
a
story
about
two
wedding
planners
and
their
journey.
Could
you
tell
us
more
about
it?
The
film
is
not
just
about
wedding
planners.
It's
a
romantic
comedy
and
talks
about
the
journey
of
these
two
characters
-
Bittoo
Sharma
and
Shruti
Kakkar-
their
coming
of
age,
and
the
ups
and
downs
in
their
relationship.
The
backdrop
of
the
film
is
wedding
planning
but
we
are
not
making
any
kind
of
documentary
on
wedding
planners.
In
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi,
you
played
the
character
of
the
shy
Taani,
in
Badmaash
Company
you
played
the
bold
and
bindaas
Bulbul.
How's
your
character
of
Shruti
Kakkar
in
Band
Baaja
Baaraat?
My
character
Shruti
Kakkar
is
a
contemporary
girl;
she
is
a
girl
of
today.
In
many
ways
Shruti
is
a
mix
of
Taani
and
Bulbul.
She
is
the
most
balanced
character
I
have
played.
She
is
someone
who
every
young
Indian
girl
will
be
able
to
identify
with.
She
is
very
real,
endearing,
and
enterprising.
She
is
also
'moophat'
and
her
language
is
a
bit
crude
at
times,
she
doesn't
mince
her
words.
She
truly
defines
the
girl
of
today
who
wants
to
do
something
after
graduating
out
of
college
rather
than
just
get
married
and
manage
a
home.

How
similar
are
you
to
your
character
of
Shruti
Kakkar?
I
think
like
Shruti,
I
am
also
independent,
very
enterprising
and
straight-forward.
These
qualities
are
similar
but
like
I
said,
every
girl
would
be
able
to
identify
in
some
way
with
Shruti
Kakkar.
I
identify
a
lot
with
her.
Not
many
Hindi
films
have
depicted
wedding
planners
as
a
profession
so
what
kind
of
research
did
you
guys
undertake
to
get
your
character
right?
Yes…as
you
said
no
Hindi
film
has
depicted
wedding
planners,
so
it
was
a
new
concept
that
we
were
executing.
Having
said
that,
wedding
planners
work
in
pretty
much
the
same
way
like
an
event
management
company,
except
that
they
specialise
only
in
weddings.
As
actors
we
had
enough
on
the
script
to
play
with.
Besides
Maneesh
our
director
and
Habib
Faisal
who
has
written
the
film,
come
from
Delhi,
so
they
knew
enough
about
the
weddings
in
Delhi
which
helped
us
in
getting
our
nuances.
We
also
corresponded
with
a
few
wedding
planners
in
Delhi
to
get
some
more
details
about
their
profession.
What
I
really
had
to
work
on
was
the
lingo
because
the
way
I
speak
in
the
film
(with
a
little
bit
of
crassness)
is
not
how
I
talk
in
real
life,
hence
it
was
a
challenge
of
sorts
for
me.
Could
you
tell
us
a
bit
about
your
look
and
styling
in
the
film?
My
look
is
very
contemporary.
Clothes
are
not
very
important
in
BBB.
Clothes
are
just
complimenting
the
character.
While
shooting
in
Delhi,
we
observed
the
way
the
young
girls
dress
and
keeping
that
in
mind
we
decided
on
Shruti's
costumes.
Niharika
Khan,
the
stylist
has
done
a
fabulous
job.
You'll
see
me
wearing
a
lot
of
kurtis
with
a
stole
and
t-shirts
with
a
stole
in
the
film.
I
personally
think
that
some
of
the
clothes
from
the
film
will
create
a
fashion
statement
of
sorts
and
girls
would
like
to
have
them
in
their
wardrobe
The
film
has
a
very
North
Indian
feel
to
it,
do
you
think
it
has
a
pan
India
audience?
Absolutely.
The
language
in
the
film
is
very
youthful
and
this
is
how
the
youth
of
today
speaks.
One
of
the
biggest
USPs
of
the
film
is
the
dialogues.
There
is
nothing
very
filmy
about
the
dialogues,
it's
very
real
and
identifiable.
Music
of
all
your
films
so
far
has
been
superb,
how
do
you
rate
the
music
of
Band
Baaja
Baaraat?
I
would
say
that
out
of
all
my
3
films
till
date,
the
music
of
BBB
is
my
favourite.
I
love
'Ainvayi
Ainvayi'
as
it's
a
really
nice
foot-tapping
number
and
even
'Tarkeebein'
is
a
cool
song
that
is
sure
to
be
liked
by
the
youth.
It's
a
young
and
fresh
album
and
I
relate
to
it
as
a
youngster.
I
know
for
sure
that
songs
of
BBB
would
be
a
favourite
at
all
the
weddings
this
season.
You
debuted
with
the
'Baadshah
of
Bollywood'-
Shahrukh
Khan
and
then
worked
with
established
stars
like
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Akshay
Kumar
(in
the
forthcoming
Patiala
House).
How
was
it
working
with
an
absolute
newcomer
like
Ranveer?
It
was
fabulous
working
with
Ranveer.
He
is
a
very
sincere
actor
and
very
dedicated
to
his
craft.
His
energy
on
the
sets
is
infectious.
He
is
extremely
animated
as
an
actor
which
is
one
of
the
best
traits
an
actor
can
possess.
He
knew
that
he
had
a
huge
opportunity
in
his
hands
and
hence
wanted
to
make
the
most
of
it.
Credit
must
be
given
to
him
as
not
many
actors
get
launched
in
such
a
big
way
and
that
too
without
having
any
filmy
background.
He
has
made
it
on
his
own.
My
entry
into
the
world
of
films
has
also
been
pretty
much
like
his
and
hence
we
kinda
connected
with
each
other's
journey
and
got
along
really
well.
Yes,
I've
worked
with
some
very
big
actors
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
all
that
matters
is
whether
you
as
an
artist
are
prepared
or
not
when
you
arrive
on
the
sets.
In
that
regard,
Ranveer
was
thorough
in
his
craft
and
has
a
tremendous
work-ethic.
How
has
the
experience
been
with
debutant
director
Maneesh
Sharma?
Maneesh
and
I
go
a
long
way.
He
was
the
associate
director
on
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
and
I
clearly
remember
he
was
the
first
person
who
auditioned
me
for
Rab
Ne.
We
became
good
friends
during
the
filming
of
Rab
Ne
and
have
continued
our
friendship
ever
since
then.
I
always
knew
that
Maneesh
was
going
to
direct
a
film
soon
but
didn't
know
at
that
point
of
time
that
he
would
want
me
to
star
in
his
first
film.
On
the
sets
of
BBB,
he
was
extremely
focussed
and
wanted
to
get
the
job
done
at
any
cost.
For
me
it
was
great
working
with
a
friend
because
I
could
be
extremely
honest
with
him
and
didn't
have
to
hold
back
anything.
He
understands
me
really
well
and
I
think
he
is
one
director
to
watch
out
for.
After
watching
the
movie,
people
will
agree
with
me.
After
Band
Baaja
Baaraat,
what
are
your
future
projects?
After
BBB,
there
is
Patiala
House
opposite
Akshay
Kumar
which
releases
in
February.
I
am
looking
forward
to
that
film
too.
Aren't
you
also
doing
Rohit
Dhawan's
Desi
Boyz?
As
a
policy
I
don't
comment
on
films
that
I
am
going
to
be
doing
or
thinking
of
doing
until
the
production
house
confirms
it
themselves.
So
I
wouldn't
like
to
comment
on
that.
Finally
Anushka,
if
you
had
to
plan
your
wedding
what
kind
of
wedding
would
you
have?
Dude…you
want
me
to
answer
this
question?
I
am
not
even
thinking
about
my
wedding
at
this
point
of
time.
My
intelligence
and
creativity
has
all
been
used
in
planning
the
weddings
in
the
film.
Now
for
my
own
wedding,
I'll
have
to
take
a
break
for
say
4
years
and
then
decide.
