Anushka Sharma was proud of her beauty, Aditya Chopra showed her the mirror

An old interview of Anushka Sharma is going viral on social media, in which she is seen admitting that she was very arrogant before becoming an actress. Anushka entered Bollywood at the age of 20 with Aditya Chopra’s 2008 romantic comedy film ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, in which she got the opportunity to work opposite Shahrukh Khan for the first time. The actress told in that interview that she was very arrogant during her school and college days and was very proud of her beauty before becoming an actor, which was broken by Aditya Chopra. Anushka had said in a conversation with ‘Headlines Today’ that she used to think that she was the most beautiful girl. Her pride in herself was shattered when she met Aditya Chopra for her debut film ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’.

Anushka said, ‘Before becoming an actress, I was very arrogant. I did not talk to many people in school and did not mingle with them. I was really very arrogant. My mother says that she is very happy that I became an actress. Because when I became an actress, Aditya Chopra made me realize the truth. In her interview to Koyal Puri, Anushka said, ‘In this meeting, Aditya Chopra told me that you are doing this film, but you are not the best looking girl. Till then I used to think that I am the best looking girl. It was in my mind that I am the best looking girl.’

Although Aditya Chopra had full faith in Anushka Sharma, his/her best friend Karan Johar was not confident about her looks. It is said that Karan Johar even tried to end her career before it even started. At the 2016 MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, Karan admitted that he/she had advised Aditya not to cast Anushka and instead take another actress.

Karan said- I thought you were signing this, you are crazy!

he/she said, ‘I wanted to completely end Anushka Sharma’s career. Because when Aditya Chopra showed me her photo, I thought, ‘No, no, are you crazy, you are signing her, you are crazy! You don’t need to sign this Anushka Sharma. There was another lead actress at that time and I wanted Aditya to sign her. I was completely behind the scenes and wanted to completely end her. I was watching Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi very reluctantly.’ Finally, this film became a blockbuster.
