Anushka Sharma reveals she was arrogant before becoming an actor, says, "Aditya Chopra told me you’re not the most good looking girl"

Anushka Sharma, a prominent figure in Bollywood, recently opened up about her early career struggles and personal growth in a candid interview. In this revelation, she discussed her journey from arrogance to humility, crediting Aditya Chopra for providing her with a much-needed reality check.

Anushka Sharma made her Bollywood debut at the age of 20 in Aditya Chopra's 2008 romantic comedy "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi," opposite Shah Rukh Khan. This film not only marked her entry into the film industry but also set the stage for her future success. Despite the initial nervousness, Anushka's performance was widely praised, and the movie was a commercial hit. However, her path to stardom wasn't without its challenges.

 
In an old interview with actor Koel Purie, which has resurfaced recently, Anushka confessed to having been quite arrogant before becoming an actor. She admitted, "I was very arrogant before I became an actor on screen. I didn't speak to too many people in school and all that. I was really, really like snobbish."

 
The reality check came when she started working with Aditya Chopra. Anushka recalled, "I'm really happy I became an actor. Because I really got a reality check when I became an actor, from Aditya Chopra. He said, 'You are doing the film, but you’re not the most good looking girl.' Till then, I used to think I'm the most good looking girl. In my head, I was the most good looking girl, like, mean, come on! But then he told me. And I was like, 'Oh, achha (okay),'"

 
This blunt yet honest feedback from Aditya Chopra was a turning point for Anushka. It grounded her and made her realize the importance of humility and hard work in the industry. Anushka's acknowledgment of her early arrogance and the subsequent transformation showcases her journey of personal growth and professional development.
