Actress
Anushka
Sharma,
who
teamed
up
with
late
filmmaker
Yash
Chopra
for
the
first
time
for
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan,
says
she
would
have
felt
empty
and
incomplete
if
Chopra
wouldn't
have
told
her
about
her
performance
in
the
movie.
"When
we
were
shooting
I
always
had
long
conversations
with
him
(Chopra)
but
someone
was
always
around
like
Shahrukh,
Adi
and
others.
The
last
time
I
met
him
was
at
Rani
Mukherjee's
house
for
Ganpati
puja.
He
called
me
and
spoke
to
me
for
one
hour
about
everything," Anushka
said
in
an
interview
here.
"He
told
me
what
he
thought
about
me
in
the
film.
He
singled
out
some
scenes
which
he
thought
I
did
very
well.
He
told
me
where
I
was
looking
nice.
Anything
that
I
would
have
wanted
to
hear
from
my
director
post
watching
the
film,
he
told
me
that
day.
I
could
have
missed
that
opportunity
as
sadly
he
is
not
with
us
now,"
the
actress
said.
Anushka
got
her
first
role
at
the
age
of
19
opposite
Shahrukh
Khan
in
Yashraj
banner's
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
in
2008.
She
did
a
string
of
films
with
the
banner
like
Badmaash
Company,
Band
Baaja
Baaraat,
Ladies
VS
Ricky
Bahl
but
got
an
opportunity
to
be
directed
by
Yash
Chopra
in
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan.
"I
would
have
never
heard
those
things
from
him.
It
is
all
bizarre
that
before
he
left
he
told
me
what
I
had
wanted
to
hear
from
him.
I
would
have
felt...empty,
incomplete
that
Yashji
did
not
tell
me
how
I
was
in
the
film,"
she
said.
As
Anushka
was
working
with
Chopra
for
the
first
time
she
wanted
to
make
sure
she
gave
her
best.
"I
was
like
was
he
happy
with
my
performance?
He
could
have
taken
any
actress
but
he
chose
me
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
he
was
happy
with
the
decision.
I
hope
I
justified
his
choice
and
he
told
me
I
did...that
was
the
last
conversation
I
had
with
him,"
she
added.
"Before
we
started
working
on
this
film
I
knew
him
(Yash
Chopra)
as
I
was
launched
by
the
banner.
I
had
a
few
short
conversations
with
him.
Only
when
you
start
working
with
a
person
you
get
to
know
him
better,"
she
said.
Releasing
on
November
13,
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan
stars
Shahrukh
Khan,
Katrina
Kaif
and
Anushka
Sharma
in
the
lead.
"When
I
used
to
meet
him
earlier
there
was
a
little
bit
of
distance
like
when
you
respect
someone
so
much,
there
is
a
little
awe
factor.
When
I
started
working
with
him
I
realised
he
was
so
relaxed,
funny,
had
fantastic
sense
of
humour.
He
was
so
warm
and
genuinely
concerned
about
actors
and
crew,"
she
added.
The
Band
Baaja
Baarat
star
describes
Chopra
as
cool,
funnier
and
young
at
heart
person.
"Yashji
was
cooler,
funnier
and
younger.
I
think
age
is
just
in
the
mind,
I
feel
I
am
older
than
him
in
thought
process.
His
sense
of
humour
was
so
good,
he
was
cool
and
fit.
He
took
things
lightly,"
she
said.
Anushka
was
also
full
of
praise
for
Yash
Chopra's
son
and
director-producer
Aditya
Chopra.
"Adi
(Aditya
Chopra)
is
very
special
to
me
as
he
is
my
first
director.
Adi
is
also
funny
but
his
sense
of
humour
is
not
as
good
as
Yashji.
He
tries
to
do
everything
correctly,
transparent
and
does
it
principally,"
she
added.
