Anushka Sharma, born on May first, nineteen eighty-eight, in Ayodhya and raised in Bangalore, is a prominent figure in the Indian film industry. She began her career as a fashion model, landing her first assignment with designer Wendell Rodricks in two thousand seven. Her passion for acting led her to Mumbai, where she made a remarkable debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the blockbuster romantic film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in two thousand eight.
Sharma quickly rose to fame with her performances in Yash Raj Films' romantic comedies, including Band Baaja Baaraat in two thousand ten and Jab Tak Hai Jaan in two thousand twelve, the latter earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. She has since been celebrated for her portrayals of strong-willed characters in critically acclaimed films such as NH10, Dil Dhadakne Do, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and Sui Dhaaga, solidifying her status as a versatile actress.
Her highest-grossing films include the sports drama Sultan and the successful Rajkumar Hirani projects PK and Sanju. Despite the mixed reception of Zero in two thousand eighteen, Sharma took a hiatus from acting to focus on her production company, Clean Slate Filmz, which has produced notable works like NH10 and Paatal Lok.
Beyond her film career, Anushka is a fashion icon, having launched her own clothing line, Nush. She is also a dedicated advocate for various causes, including gender equality and animal rights. Married to cricketer Virat Kohli, the couple shares two children, balancing their high-profile careers with family life.
