Vancouver:
Actress
Anushka
Sharma
says
she
does
play
very
confident
and
outgoing
person
in
films,
but
in
reality
she
is
a
shy
and
under
confident
person.
"I
am
a
very
under-confident
person.
Whatever
is
seen
in
films
is
just
a
projection
of
my
character.
I
wish
I
could
be
as
confident
as
the
characters
I
play
on
screen,
but
I
am
not.
I
am
a
very
shy
person," the
24-year-old
told
reporters
on
the
sidelines
of
first
edition
of
Times
of
India
Film
Awards
(TOIFA)
here.
She
started
her
Bollywood
career
in
2008
as
the
vivacious
Taani
in
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi,
and
went
on
to
play
an
enterprising
wedding
planner
in
Band
Baaja
Baraat
and
the
daring
documentary
filmmaker
in
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan.
Last
seen
as
Bijlee
in
Matru
Ki
Bijlee
Ka
Mandola,
Anushka
said
she
is
a
very
shy
and
under
confident
person
in
real
life.
In
a
short
span
of
four
years,
Anushka
has
carved
a
niche
for
herself
in
Bollywood,
but
entering
the
glamour
business
was
not
planned.
"It
wasn't
planned
as
I
came
from
Bangalore.
We
don't
have
the
influence
of
films.
I
didn't
grow
up
watching
films,
so
it
wasn't
a
decision
to
be
an
actor.
But
God
had
something
different
planned
for
me,"
she
said.
If
recent
media
reports
were
anything
to
go
by,
Anushka
was
in
the
shortlist
for
Hollywood
filmmaker
Steven
Speilberg's
upcoming
project.
But
she
refused
to
comment
on
it.
