She said, “I have been like this only. This size zero thing is a big myth because the size is actually meant for babies. How will I fit into a baby’s attire? On a serious note, I work for 17-18 hours every day and sleep for very few hours so do you really feel I can survive to be so thin? If I were not fit I would have been hospitalized. I work out every day and eat consciously. I am just right!” 3.

Amitabh Bachchan Reinforced Her [caption id="attachment_7962" align="alignnone" width="800"] via[/caption] A trophy is not the reinforcement that we always look forward to. Anushka Sharma was disappointed as she did not get any award but she became motivated when Amitabh Bachchan told her that he liked her work and after a long time he has seen this much-talented actress in Bollywood. 7. She Won Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Award [caption id="attachment_7967" align="alignnone" width="800"] via[/caption] Anushka Sharma was highly appreciated for her performance in “Band Baja Baraat”.

She Did Not Consider Herself A Good Model [caption id="attachment_7966" align="alignnone" width="800"] via[/caption] In an interview, she told, “I don’t think I was a good model. I think I was born to emote and act. I would walk down the ramp and smile, and they used to say, ‘give us a blank look.’ It was tough, not to smile.” 9. She Was Rejected Because Of Her Looks [caption id="attachment_7969" align="alignnone" width="800"] via[/caption] Before she made her Bollywood debut, Anushka faced rejection many times from the Bollywood producers. They termed her “Plain Jane” as they consider her too plain to make an appeal. 10. She Considers Every Actress As Her Competition [caption id="attachment_7970" align="alignnone" width="800"] via[/caption] In an interview, she said, “Every actress today is competition for me. I will not make a statement like ‘I am competing with myself and need to make myself better’ etc because everyone here is dying to get the best roles.” This, of course, includes Katrina Kaif. “Of course. Katrina is a beautiful face and she has a great body of work behind her. You can never argue with that. And she has tremendously grown as an actor. We all know that a beautiful face is an important aspect of an actor’s personality if he or she wants to make it big in Bollywood.” We wish Anushka Sharma a happy birthday and may she keep on entertaining us with her amazing acting skills.
