My focus is on the quality of films that I do: Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma, a Bollywood actress, has always been a 'seeker of balance' in her professional and personal lives. On her birthday, Anushka says she's focusing on becoming a part of the greatest screenplays the Hindi cinema business has to offer, which will make it worthwhile for her to spend time away from her newborn daughter Vamika. 

The actress said, 

“I will always want to be a part of the best scripts that come my way. I feel blessed that I am in a position today to select the type of films that I want to do, which also justifies the time that I will spend away from my child. I have always been a seeker of balance in life and my priority now lies there. I want to focus on my work life and my family life in equal measure.”

She further added,

“So, my focus is in the quality of the films that I do. I’m always looking for these special scripts that fill me up with joy. I will always be open to doing projects that are incredibly interesting, represents women in cinema correctly and is also disruptive and content forward. As and when those come to me, I will be more than happy to do it. That’s how I’m approaching my career right now.”

The Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actress will next be seen in Chakda Xpress, a film that follows India's most famous fast bowler Jhulan Goswami's journey, as she rises through the ranks, overcoming sexist politics to achieve her ambition of playing cricket for her country. 

Jhulan achieved her goal and went on to captain the Indian women's national cricket team, serving as a role model for the country's budding players. An Indian postage stamp was produced in her honour in 2018.
