Anushka
On
Scrutiny
Having
said
that,
Anushka
feels
blessed
to
get
the
love
and
affection
of
her
fans.
"Scrutiny
might
not
be
easy,
but
it's
a
minor
aspect
of
a
much
more
gratifying
experience
in
the
long
run,"
she
added.
Anushka
Chooses
To
Stay
Mum
About
Her
Relationship
In
the
recent
past,
Bollywood
celebrities
have
spoken
out
more
openly
about
their
personal
issues
-
be
it
about
relationships
or
dealing
with
depression.
"I
think
it's
a
personal
decision
that
each
celebrity
takes
individually,"
said
the
actress.
Anushka
On
Her
Journey
The
28-year-old
star
has
been
part
of
the
industry
for
almost
nine
years.
During
this
period,
she
has
also
landed
plum
endorsement
deals,
the
latest
of
which
is
her
appointment
as
ambassador
for
the
eyewear
brand
Polaroid.
And
she
is
also
a
film
producer.
Talking
about
her
journey,
she
said:
"What
I
have
realised
so
far
is
that
one
should
just
let
one's
work
do
all
the
talking.
I
stayed
focused
on
choosing
to
work
in
roles
that
made
a
difference
to
a
film,
and
in
films
that
entertained
and
engaged
viewers."
Anushka’s
Success
Mantra
Giving
the
roles
and
scripts
priority
has
paid
off
for
her.
"I
have
worked
with
filmmakers
who
matter
today
and
have
won
audience
approval
with
my
commercial
successes.
So,
hard
work
above
all
else
is
the
mantra
to
success.
That's
perhaps
my
biggest
learning,"
Anushka
added.
Anushka
On
Her
Strong
On-screen
Characters
Be
it
as
the
vivacious
Taani
from
"Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi",
fun-loving
Shruti
from
"Band
Baaja
Baaraat"
or
the
strong-headed
Meera
from
her
maiden
production
"NH10",
Anushka
has
always
shared
equal
ground
with
male
actors.
Is
that
a
conscious
decision?
"I
wanted
to
become
an
actor,
to
be
part
of
films
that
will
remain
with
an
audience
much
after
they
have
left
the
theatre,
films
that
you
remember
with
fondness.
So,
my
decision
to
take
up
roles
that
have
something
to
say
and
make
a
difference
to
how
a
film
shapes
up,
emerges
from
that."
‘I
Chose
The
Right
Direction’
Anushka
says
she
took
her
chances
by
focusing
on
strong,
empowered
and
easy-to-relate-to
roles.
"Since
audiences
today
remember
the
characters
that
I
have
played,
and
the
roles
that
I
have
done,
it
indicates
that
I
chose
the
right
direction.
I
hope
to
continue
to
be
part
of
films
where
what
I
play
matters,"
she
said.
