#7yearsInBollywood: Why Anushka Sharma is a true news-maker

With seven years in the industry, Bollywood’s bindaas beauty, Anushka Sharma, has emerged as one of the finest actresses in town.

When she debuted against superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, we knew the girl had it in her to make it big. As she gears up for even more memorable years in the industry, we tell you why she is a true news-maker.

The lip job issue:

For her role of a Jazz player in Bombay Velvet, Sharma allegedly went for a temporary lip enhancement. Her new look, when it first broke on the social media, it gave birth many memes and snickers. In fact, her lips were compared to Joker’s (the crazy villain from The Batman series). The feisty girl took it all in her stride of course. She didn’t let the trolls make her life hell. Well…Atta, girl!

Cricket controversy:

When the Indian team exited from the ICC World Cup, actress Anushka Sharma was blamed. Only because her beau Virat Kohli was part of the team. The biting sexist comments and social backlash didn’t make a difference to the diva, who met her trolls head-on. It was also endearing to see Virat come to his lady love’s rescue by blasting the trolls.

Her love life:

Talking about Virart, how can we not include the news-worthy moment when two made their relationship public? Even though they were spotted at various places hand-in-hand, they chose to remain mum about the affair. But the vivacious duo spoke at length about their love for each other a media gathering. It’s a welcome change when most actresses are busy sweeping their love lives under the carpet…Anushka has anyway never been the conventional one. So more power to her!

Her frank interview:

In a recent interview with film critic Anupama Chopra, Anushka spoke about the gender inequality in Bollywood. She also raised many sexism-related issues that are still prevalent in the glamourous industry. Her frank take on wage inequality and being a woman in Bollywood were lapped up by the media and the young actress was praised from all corners for her bold outlook. If that doesn’t make her a newsmaker to be proud of, wonder what does.

Here's wishing her a happy seventh anniversary in Bollywood and many more glorious years ahead...be as feisty as you're, girl! Send the actress your wishes via the comment section below.
