I made choices that weren’t necessarily healthy: Anushka Sharma

Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma has stayed away from the big screen ever since she was seen in 2018 film ‘Zero’ but claims she has been working in a different capacity to build a life for herself, away from the camera.

The actress features on the cover of Grazia fashion magazine’s February issue and has opened up about her personal life and choices in the edition. She opened up about why she chose to take a break from films.

“I was on auto pilot, and it got exhausting. There was a period when I was shooting two films simultaneously. I made choices that weren’t necessarily healthy. I needed to try other things, things that didn’t fit into the schedule that I had found myself getting accustomed to for such a long time.”

The thing about love is that it’s not just a feeling , it’s much more than that . It’s a guide , a propeller, a path to the absolute truth . And I am blessed , truly , wholly blessed, to have found it ❤ 🙏 pic.twitter.com/FGgarCdlm6

She further said that she needed to slow down, “There’s never a good time to step away from creative opportunities, but I needed to grow and I needed to challenge myself in a different way to figure out, I don’t know, a purpose, and live a little outside of the movie sets and promotional tours, and dresses and heels, and have authentic exchanges with people.

“I also prioritised slowing down and working on building a life for myself. I worked in a different capacity – I tried to create some things, produce some things, build my clothing brand,” she added.

Anushka had featured in two films in 2018, ‘Sui Dhaaga’ with Varun Dhawan and ‘Zero’ with Shah Rukh Khan. Later in 2019, she accompanied husband and cricketer Virat Kohli on his Australia and West Indies tours.

The actress has two productions in pipeline. Her production company will release a film titled ‘Bulbul’ on Netflix and a web series for Amazon.
