Its cheap to talk about the movies offered to you-Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma on why she won't speak about the blockbusters that she refused
Harshada Rege (DNA; February 27, 2015)

Apart from announcing their big ticket movies, most actors take great pride in slyly revealing the movies they turn down. Anushka Sharma is the only exception to the rule. It was Karan Johar who revealed this in an interview recently to this paper. He said, "I often joke with Anushka. I had gone to her for two films I had produced. After she said no to me for two movies, she said, "Ab toh tum kabhi nahi aaoge" But I still went to her for a film I am directing. First film she had said no to was 2 States. She didn't want to do it, but what I respect about Anushka i s that she never talks about films she doesn't do and I really respect that about her. And I went back to her because I love her and I love the fact that she is so clear about what she wants. Her decisions are not coming from a stupid shallow place, it's coming " most actors, let me tell you, operate from a clever place " from a career space and I respect that."


When asked about Karan's comment, the actress confirms, "I don't like to talk about the films I am not doing. Because when a filmmaker approaches you with a certain story, they do so in confidence. My job is to decide for myself whether I want to do the film or not. It is not my business to tell other people that I said no to it. I think it's cheap to talk about the movies offered to you because you are belittling someone's hard work. When someone says, Oh I said no to the film', it's wrong! You are forming other people's judgment about something. I might not do a film for various reasons... I might be doing something like that or maybe my dates were not working out... or some other reason. Maybe, creatively we didn't agree on that film. But I can't talk about that film and say I said no to it and deride that project because the project is good in itself. It's not in my nature to behave like that. I only speak about the things that I am doing because that's my business. I would like to respect people who offer me their movies. It could be a creative disagreement but talking about it is not any actor's business." Besides her acting talent, it's probably her attitude that has resulted in her being on the wishlist of most filmmakers in B-Town. Take note, girls!

👏such a sensible statement.. i know right anu❤️.. dirty cheapsters everywhere.. ewww.. yuck.. how cheap.. 🤢

Didn't know 2 States was offered to her until now

Nice. Good for her. 👍🏼

It's good they added what karan said about offering her 2 states otherwise people would be saying she is saying this for publicity😆 She shud have done 2 states!

Why did everybody run away from 2 States?

I think the 2nd film she refused must have been the film Sid-Katrina r doing together coz her name was attached to it first... I think she is only interested in competing her directors wish list😆 she must be the first actress more interested in working with big directors than big heroes😕😆

So she refused 2 of karan's films and then said yes to the 3rd one(His directorial) which makes me think she actually does have a good role in it despite it having aishwarya too..otherwise she would have definitely said no to this movie too

I was like thank god Karan Quote was added .. I wonder which was second film she refused .

I wondered what was offered to her 😆😆
