Meet actor who never planned to act, once feared talking to Shah Rukh Khan, married THIS star after rocky romance, now living her dream life

As a lifestyle expert, let me introduce you to an extraordinary individual who, unlike many, didn’t initially envision herself as a professional actress. In the early stages of her career, she found herself trembling at the thought of conversing with the renowned Shah Rukh Khan, with whom she shared the screen for her acting debut, despite being an outsider in the industry. Fast forward through time, she’s now sharing a life with a celebrated figure after navigating the turbulent waters of their on-again, off-again relationship. If you haven’t already figured it out, I’m referring to none other than the captivating Anushka Sharma.

Born and raised in Bangalore, Anushka Sharma later relocated to Mumbai following her college graduation, with aspirations of making a mark in modeling or journalism. Unexpectedly, though, her path took a turn towards acting – a career she hadn’t initially considered.

In contrast to being a part of Bollywood’s star family, the actress initially appeared alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the highly successful film “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” (2008). During an interview with IANS, Anushka expressed that her outsider status was beneficial because she didn’t carry any pre-existing assumptions. She further stated, “So I’ve simply continued to be exactly as I am at home.

After that, she appeared in several prominent movies such as Band Baaja Baaraat and Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Despite the success these films brought, her acting journey had its ups and downs, experiencing both triumphs and setbacks throughout the years.

Anushka Sharma’s films including Jab Tak Hai Jaan, PK, NH10, Sultan, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil among others have been successful at the box office. Conversely, movies like Badmaash Company, Patiala House, Bombay Velvet, and Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola did not fare well at the cinema. Her most recent appearance was in Zero with Shah Rukh Khan, but that film also didn’t do well financially.

Apart from acting, Anushka also plays a significant role as a film producer. She co-founded Clean Slate Filmz and made her debut as a producer with NH10. Since then, she has produced movies like Paatal Lok and Bulbbul. However, in 2022, Anushka declared that she would be relinquishing her role as a producer, leaving her brother to manage the production company independently.

Initially shy about speaking with Shah Rukh Khan when they first worked together in the film industry, Anushka Sharma has since developed a strong friendship with him. According to Hindustan Times, she holds Shah Rukh in high regard and considers him extremely kind to her from their very first collaboration.

In a recent statement, the actress mentioned that her bond with him has evolved significantly, and these days, she finds it quite effortless to converse with him – a stark contrast to her initial apprehension, where she was too timid to engage in any discussions with him.

Previously, during the talk show Yaaron Ki Baraat hosted by Sajid Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, Anushka playfully mentioned that she’d love to swipe Shah Rukh Khan’s collection of watches and his famous residence, Mannat. In response, the superstar joked, asking her to at least leave her trailer for him to use as a new home once she takes his house.

On a personal level, Anushka Sharma is currently married to the renowned cricketer Virat Kohli. Their relationship began when they worked together on a commercial project and later developed into a romantic connection. It was during this time that she started attending his cricket matches, which sparked dating rumors. However, it’s been reported that their relationship faced some difficulties at one point. Nevertheless, they managed to resolve their issues and continue their relationship since then.

As a die-hard admirer, I’ve witnessed the occasional flack she received on social media whenever Virat wasn’t at his best during matches. Yet, standing steadfast by her side, this cricketing hero took it upon himself to defend her on various social platforms.

Back in 2017, I exchanged vows in a heartwarming, intimate ceremony held in the picturesque region of Tuscany, Italy. The event was graced by only our closest friends and family members. Today, my partner and I are proud parents to two beautiful children – a daughter named Vamika and a son called Akaay.

In 2012, during an interview with Simi Garewal, she expressed the significance she placed on marriage and family, stating, “It’s very important to me. I aspire to get married, have children, and when I do, I likely wouldn’t continue working full-time.” Now, it seems that her wishes have come true as she appears to be living her dream life according to manifestation.

In the near future, you’ll find Anushka Sharma portraying the role of the esteemed cricketer Jhulan Goswami in the biopic titled ‘Chakda ‘Xpress’. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the film has been postponed and currently remains on pause. No updates regarding its new release date have been announced yet.
