Anushka completes a decade in Bollywood, says, "I'm calmer today"
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 in Bollywood in 2008 opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' as the strong-headed Taani Sahni.
"Your growth as person will make you a better performer"
Anushka says becoming a better version of herself has been her goal. "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," she said.

It's just so complex that you understand how life is," she quipped.
I'm trying to be more like my character 'Mamta': Anushka
The actor, who stars in 'Sui Dhaaga: Made in India', says she is trying to be more like her character, Mamta, who only offers her opinion when asked. "I'm definitely way more expressive than Mamta. I'm trying to be like her. I only want to give my opinion when I'm asked," Anushka said. The film, 'Sui Dhaaga', is directed by Sharat Katariya.

Detailing more about her character, Anushka said, "She will express herself only when she is asked. And when she does, she'll express herself so clearly that she would rattle the onlookers. She's extremely wise for her age." "I would laugh openly like I do, but when Mamta laughs she'll always cover her face as if she's apologetic, even about that," she added.
