Anushka Sharma: Some mystery should remain with actors

Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film ‘Bombay Velvet’. The Diva is not happy to see her face peeping out of every tabloid. She feels that actors today are over exposed, they should retain a certain amount of mystery and enigma for their audiences.

Anushka Sharma said, “Actors are overexposed today. Everytime I open the newspaper, I see my face, I see myself on hoardings. It is overbearing to see myself so much. My mother is happy though. Till date, she gets excited to see my face in the newspaper. But, I feel a certain amount of mystery should remain with actors, there should be some enigma. You should go and experience them onscreen.”

Anushka further added that, “Every actor has a certain energy which suits certain roles better. I was surprised when he offered me this in 2011. It was scary to control one’s natural instinct and find another route to approach the part. It is a very internalized performance. Rosie does not say much in the movie. She expresses herself only through her songs.”

Anushka said that she is quite happy working with Ranbir Kapoor, “I would not want any other film to be our first film together because it is so different from everyone’s perception. It is a very strong love story and I can’t see anyone else doing Johnny’s role because Ranbir is so good in it. We next have a quintessential love story in Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.”

On selecting movies Anushka revealed that, “I follow my instincts in selecting roles. In the first few years, I would pick the best from what I was being offered. This is why I did less films. But now I am in a better position to make good choices. Luckily, my choices have turned out to be good.”

About “NH10″, she said she was discouraged about it. “More than the money, it is the faith that you put in a project against all odds. People are dissuading you for various reasons but you make it purely on a creative level without trying to make everyone happy, which happens a lot here. It was difficult but not walking the beaten path was a big kick.”

Anushka Sharma is all set to mesmerize her fans in two back-to-back movies –Anurag Kashyap’s “Bombay Velvet” and Zoya Akhtar’s “Dil Dhadakne Do” — releasing this Friday and on June 5.
