I'm a 60 year old stuck in a 20 year old body

With a debut with SRK in a Yarsh Raj Production, this blue eyed girl from Bangalore could not have asked for anything more. We introduce you to Anushka Sharma…

What was your reaction when you first met Shah Rukh Khan?
Anushka Sharma: You will not believe that when I first met Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of the film, I could not recognise him. He was in his Surinder Sahni look with a moustache. In fact, it was he who came to me, introduced himself, shook my hands and congratulated me on being part of the project.

When you were first narrated the script of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi , didn’t you have any questions about your character, Tani not recognising her husband?
Anushka Sharma: Yes, I had my apprehensions about the script and I even discussed them with Aditya Chopra. But Shah Rukh Khan played both parts so well that I thought I was acting with two different persons.

If given a choice in real life, would you like to settle down with a person like Raj or Suri?
Anushka Sharma: Suri definitely! Suri is a very nice person. External beauty will not stay forever but internal beauty will. I would like to settle down with a person who will love me more than anyone has ever loved before.

So is Anuskha Sharma similar to Tani in real life?
Anushka Sharma: I am very similar to Tani. I am a sixty year old trapped in a 20 year old body. I am a very boring person. I am very shy at times. But I am comfortable with the people I know, and usually very chatty with them.

Which was your toughest and favourite scene in the film?
Anushka Sharma: Most of my favourite scenes are with Suri. I liked him more than Raj. The toughest scene was when Raj and Tani decide to run away. I had cried so many times when we were rehearsing that I could not cry any more. I was trying really hard to cry.
Which is the best compliment that you have received and from whom?
Anushka Shamra: The best compliment came from Shah Rukh Khan when he thanked me for making Rab Ne… very beautiful and special.
