Though the world considers that she is one of the most beautiful actress in the current generation, Aditya Chopra didn’t agree to it completely. However, he didn’t doubt the talent of this Girl Next door, Bubbly, Free- Spirited, talkative, charming which are just few words to describe the versatile Anushka Sharma. Being from the army background, Anushka was never inclined towards working in cinema. She chose modelling as her career and was doing fairly well in the desired space. It was this time, when Anushka got an offer to audition for Yashraj Films. Averse by the mechanics of film industry, Anushka showed discomfort in going for the opportunity. It was her manager who after a lot of persuasion told her that ‘Don’t think you are too awesome, you might not get selected’. Getting a reality check, Anushka opened her blinkers and decided to give it a try. On the day of the audition, at Yashraj Studio, a script was handed over to Anushka and asked to go to the next room, prepare for her character and come back to give a shot for the camera. Owing to the gutsy girl that she is, Anushka asked for a day to rehearse and come back considering it was an important opportunity. To the notice of everyone, Anushka didn’t know which film she was auditioning for. It was days after her audition, she happened to read a news article in one of the dailies about Aditya Chopra looking out for a new girl to cast opposite ‘The Shahrukh Khan’. Needless, to say, the performance landed her the role of Taani Partner in Rab ne Bana Di Jodi. While breaking the news to her, Aditya Chopra said – ‘You are not the best looking girl, but I have a lot of belief in you, so go ahead and work really really hard’. While Anushka was driving back from the studio, tears of joy rolled down the cheeks of this pretty lady without her own knowledge. She pulled over at the side of the road to call her mother and share the most unbelievable story of her life. Not aware that her mom would share an equally if not more unbelievable fact with her. As a good luck sign, Anushka’s house had Feng Shui turtle in their living room. She had apparently put in two papers in that Turtle’s mouth, one with a wish for Anushka and other for Anushka’s brother. The moment Anushka broke the news to her mother, she informed her that the wish she had written for Anushka was that her Daughter should bag a Yashraj Film. Say it a Mother’s conviction or good luck, we can’t doubt the talent of this young actress who is ruling the chart of actresses like a Sultan. And definitely making it hard for the Film makers to resist working with Anushka Sharma which makes them say ' Ae Dil Hai Mushkil !!!'
