She had a dream debut in Bollywood opposite superstar Shahrukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, but her ride in showbiz has been bumpy with several highs and lows. Actress Anushka Sharma, who earlier this month completed eight years since she walked into the glitzy Hindi movie world says having no strings attached to film families, worked in her favour.

The actress said she started her journey with a clean slate without any "preconceived notions about the way you have to do things".

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi may have given her a good launchpad, but her sail into showbiz was not smooth. If we talk about her film career, then it seems to be a case of several hits and misses. Be it a hit or a miss, Anushka never takes anything to heart, or get stuck in her mind. "It is important to have that sense of reality (that) you will have successes and you will have failures and you will have to be somewhere in between.''

"I backed a movie such as NH10 because I felt that it was a story that needed to be told. It wasn't the most obvious choice for a film (as an actor), let alone producing it. But despite being an adult film, it did well. It's about how well the films have been received and loved by audiences, which is directly connected to the storyline and the content.''

"I believe that a person can look good only if they feel comfortable. Everyone of us has a unique style which makes us different. It's just for us to realise our potential, accentuate our positives and flaunt the best in us. And of course, have fun while you keep it stylish.''
