NEW DELHI, Sept 28: It is the beginning of a new era for Anushka Sharma, as she clocks 10 years in Hindi film industry in 2018, and the actor says over time she has grown to become a “calmer” individual.
The 30-year-old actor made her acting debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 2008’s “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” as the strong-headed Tani.
She says becoming a better version of herself has been her all-time goal, which in turn has made her “a better actor”.
“There has been an incredible amount of change. I’m so much calmer than I was earlier. My constant effort has just been on my growth as a person. I strongly believe your own growth as a person will involve emotional growth. That in turn makes you a better performer. “You can feel more when you start feeling more sympathetic and empathetic towards people. You’ll be able to bring that out in the characters you’re playing,” Anushka said in an interview.
The actor calls the industry as the “greatest teacher” that has made her navigate through the complexities of life. “I think no industry teaches you better than this place because it’s really tough here. You’ll find all kinds of people. You’ll find kindness in people, you’ll find shrewdness in those same people. It’s just so complex that you understand how life is. And at the same, it’s extremely simple. (PTI)
