Don't Miss: Anushka Sharma Talks About Abandoning Fawad Khan Post The MNS Controversy
Anushka Sharma recently talked about her equation with her on-screen husband in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Fawad Khan.
Anushka Sharma and Fawad Khan worked together for the first time in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Fawad played Anushka's husband in the movie. Post the URI attack, the MNS threatened to ban the film because of Fawad.
Recently, in an interview by Mid Day, Anushka was asked, ''Everybody just abandoned Fawad during the film's release, given the controversy. I can understand Karan Johar's predicament as a producer, but what about the cast, and his Bollywood 'friends'? Did you not speak to him, or did you lose touch?'' Read what Anushka said about her equation with Fawad below.
Anushka On Fawad
"I'd never been in touch with Fawad, to begin with. We only interacted on the set, and that's about it. So there was nothing new about it, in that sense, after the incident took place.''
When Fawad Was Signed For ADHM
"I remember when Fawad was cast, we all felt relieved because the other person (in the film) just had to be as strong, and it is a cameo, with little space for Fawad's character (Ali) to reveal his feelings for Alizeh. He had to convey a lot more, merely through expressions."
On MNS's Threat
"We didn't feel it would turn out the way it did. Everybody had worked hard for months on the movie when things were very different, and now we couldn't have been held responsible for a changed (Indo-Pak) situation. But things between India and Pakistan have always been iffy, so this self-censorship on the part of filmmakers to not work with Indian artistes was weird in its own way, no? I wouldn't want to comment on the issue because it can get misconstrued. And it's a much larger issue than a film."
On Landing Up In Bollywood
''If you'd told me about 15 years ago that this is where I was going to be, I'd say you were crazy. Being an actress is such a far-fetched thing for where I come from. Growing up, I must've seen probably five movies a year in the theatre!''
In the same interview, Anushka Sharma added, '' Even now I can't stand before a mirror and act. Even if I'm dressed up, or waking up in the morning, I am not looking at myself. I guess if you always know that you're going to be an actor, you become ready for speculations, people's interest in your life, and public scrutiny that comes with the job.''

''I don't think that I was prepared for that one bit, when it happened. I still don't know how to react to compliments, autograph seekers... It's very complex. I just wanted to be someone with a certain standing (in society),'' Anushka said.
