Anushka Sharma lashes out at media, says she is capable of producing her own films

Anushka Sharma is super upset with the rumours that have made it to the headlines revolving around her film ‘Phillauri’. The rumours suggest that her upcoming movie ‘Phillauri‘ is being produced by her alleged boyfriend Virat Kohli and this has made the actress furious.

Anushka took to Instagram to share an open letter written by her, lashing out at a few media publications that carried the news, without checking their facts. In her letter, she states, “‘Phillauri’ is produced by FOX STAR HINDI and CLEAN SLATE FILMS. So those TV channels/newspapers/websites claiming anything else, please check FACTS, practice responsible journalism and have some shame. I have always led my career with dignity and often chose to maintain a dignified silence on many untruthful stories, that does not mean you can take my silence as my weakness and say anything without checking with me or my team.” (Also Read: Bollywood celebs give thumbs up to the trailer of Anushka Sharma’s ‘Phillauri’)

Anushka further says that the media should remember that this is what it does to women trying to take charge of their career. “And next time these same people come wanting to talk about ‘women empowerment’ and ‘women in films today’ do remember this is what you do to ‘women in films’ who are trying to change the narrative & take charge of their own careers,” read her statement.
