Ok
Ok,
I
proposed
Anushka
Sharma
for
marriage.
And
so
what
if
she
hasn't
said
'Yes'.
The
good
news
is
that
she
hasn't
said
'No'
either.
A
bit
of
playfulness
is
required
when
you
interview
someone,
and
probably
more
if
that
someone
is
Anushka
'Shruti'
Sharma.
There's
nothing
more
Indian
than
being
a
Mumbai-ite'.
Except,
maybe,
hard-working,
irrepressibly
bubbly
Anushka.
Perhaps
that's
why
her
'Delhi-ite'
drama
Band
Baaja
Baaraat
took
everyone
by
surprise
last
week.
Sharma
seems
that
rarest
of
creatures:
a
level-headed
Bollywood
young
person
who
is
more
concerned
about
her
roles
than
making
it
big
in
Mumbai,
her
current
home.
Creativity
precedes
over
films
for
her
and
she
really
dips
into
her
characters
like
the
Dorito's
get
dipped
in
a
hot
Salsa.
A
perpetually
busy
actress,
Anushka
has
Patiala
House
up
for
release
early
next
year
but
I've
already
put
in
a
word
to
the
actress
that
she
needs
to
start
making
or
clearing
some
shelf
space
come
the
awards
season
before
she
embarks
on
yet
another
of
her
'critically
acclaimed'
performances.
Our
correspondent
chats
with
the
actress
waiting
for
her
flight
to
Delhi.
What
she
doesn't
know
is
that
her
film
is
making
more
noise
in
the
theatres
than
the
many
descending
and
ascending
planes
at
the
airport.
"Band
Baaja
Baaraat
proved
a
point"
What
Band
Baaja
Baaraat
proves
is
the
fact
that
the
audience
is
respectful
of
cinema
and
they
want
to
watch
good
films.
The
film
breaks
the
myth
that
only
superstars
make
good
cinema.
I
feel
that
a
good
film
will
make
stars.
The
script
is
the
most
important
here
and
I
have,
from
day
one
stressed
that
it
is
the
script
of
the
film
that
is
the
real
hero
and
nothing
else.
The
audience
has
really
made
my
faith
stronger.
"Original
and
not
inspired"
Before
the
movie
came
out,
everyone
compared
our
film
to
the
Wedding
Planners.
We
didn't
raise
a
voice
and
a
certain
section
of
the
media
wrote
negative
things
about
the
film
too.
Honestly
speaking,
we
were
the
underdogs.
But
the
day
the
film
released,
we
knew
our
patience
has
paid
off
and
our
calmness
has
paid
off.
"Better
written
role
will
always
give
out
the
best
performance"
I
am
really
happy
that
the
new
pairing
has
worked
in
everyone's
favour.
It's
something
that
the
audiences
must've
waited
for
a
long
time
(laughs).
We've
been
hearing
from
critics
that
after
a
long
time
they've
seen
a
very
good
on-screen
couple
which
I
think
is
a
huge
compliment.
It
was
Ranveer's
first
film
and
I
was
only
two
films
old.
I
am
so
happy.
But
a
good
scripting
has
made
our
parts
strong
and
I
hope
that
such
good
parts
are
written
for
not
just
me,
but
every
actor
in
our
industry.
"Delhi
as
a
character
worked
the
best"
There
were
three
main
characters
in
Band
Baaja
Baaraat.
That's
what
Maneesh
would
say
each
time
we
had
a
brief
from
him.
They
were
Bittu,
Shruti
and
Delhi.
There
is
something
Delhi
about
everything
in
the
film.
We
have
shot
on
actual
locations
and
it
wasn't
easy.
Delhi
brought
out
the
best
in
all
of
us
because
we
all
were
young
and
were
raring
to
prove
a
point,
and
we
did,
didn't
we?
Anushka
Sharma
"Awards
will
come
and
go
but
I
want
good
roles"
I
had
imagined
I'd
get
all
awards
as
a
debutant
in
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
(laughs).
But
that
didn't
happen
and
so
I
will
now
leave
it
to
the
panel
of
judges
and
the
members
of
the
particular
awards
ceremony
to
decide
whether
I
will
be
eligible
for
Band
Baaja
Baaraat
or
not
(laughs).
"My
trust
in
Aditya
Chopra"
One
needs
to
be
given
that
role.
Aditya
Chopra
and
Maneesh
Sharma
had
that
trust
in
me
and
gave
me
to
play
Shruti
Kakkar.
If
people
give
me
the
opportunity
to
show
my
talent,
I
will.
But
not
if
I
am
not
given
one.
Adi
understands
my
range
as
an
actor
and
is
throwing
me
in
different
roles
all
the
time
and
because
of
which
I
am
not
getting
stereo-typed.
I
am
looking
forward
to
do
more
work
and
hope
to
get
more
such
films
like
Band
Baaja
Baaraat.
"I
charge
what
I
think
is
my
value
in
cinema"
After
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi,
a
lot
of
offers
came
my
way
in
terms
of
endorsements,
events
and
films.
I
said
no
to
a
few
because
I
wasn't
running
behind
money.
Money
was
never
important
when
I
was
modelling
and
it
isn't
important
for
me
now
when
I
am
doing
films.
I
love
acting
and
that's
why
I
am
here.
I
am
a
very
straight
forward
person
and
when
I
say
that
money
doesn't
mean
anything
to
me,
it
really
doesn't.
What
I
charge
is
always
what
I
think
is
my
value.
"I
like
to
go
beyond
anyone's
expectation"
Adi
said
that
when
he
cast
me
for
the
role
of
Taani
from
Rab
Ne,
he
thought
that
I
would
never
be
able
to
pull
off
something
as
good
as
that.
But
after
Band
Baaja
Baaraat,
he
told
me
that
I
have
proven
him
wrong.
Adi
Chopra
for
me
is
the
ultimate
person
because
he
is
my
mentor.
For
me,
if
anything
comes
from
him,
it's
a
huge
compliment
and
I
hope
I
go
beyond
his
expectations
just
like
I
have
with
this
film.
