Actor Anushka
Sharma, who feels
a sense of
validation when
her "risky
choices bear fruit,
is smiling from
ear-to-ear due to
the success of
"Sui Dhaaga
Made in India.
Confident as she
is about all her
projects, she says
she would have
been hurt had the
movie or her role
not got the
appreciation it
has received.
Produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by
Sharat Katariya, the movie is an ode to the
entrepreneurial spirit that can drive the
nation to speedy progress. It stars Anushka
with Varun Dhawan. They have both
fetched equal praise.

"I am very happy that the film has not only
set the registers ringing but also received a
lot of love from people, and that is
paramount for us. I always believed that
this film would reach the masses... I feel
glad that the collaborative effort of Varun
and me has worked for the film and we
have been a part of a successful film like Sui
Dhaaga', Anushka said.
In the movie, Anushka plays village
simpleton Mamta.
The actor has been unconventional in her
choice of roles right from her 2008
Bollywood debut Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The
streak continued with projects like Band
Baaja Baaraat, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, PK,
NH10, Dil Dhadakne Do, Pari and now Sui
Dhaaga.
"I feel when I do diverse work like this or I
do the so called risky' roles like these and
when they do well, I feel a sense of
validation for the choices that I have made.
When the film is successful and my role and
work gets appreciated, I get a validation
from the audience that I am making the
right choices and I should continue to do
so.

"I would have been really hurt and
confused if a film like Sui Dhaaga' or my
role in the film hadn't got the appreciation
that it has as somewhere I believe that if I
play a character like Mamta who is so
different to who I am as a person and
literally who is at the opposite end of the
spectrum to who I am, and if this role had
not been received by the audience even
though I wanted it to, I would have been
really upset.
However, for her, it is heartening that the
audience noticed a transformation.
"Like I have transformed on-screen... One
could not see any traces of Anushka Sharma
in Mamta. For any actor, that's the biggest
compliment and I hope they will continue to
appreciate the diverse work that I am going
to do in my career here onwards, Anushka
added.
She is also a film producer and is known to
back content like NH10, Pari and Phillauri
that are not conventionally Bollywood.
"The idea has always been to do films and
to do roles which have a unique voice and
perspective. My choices have always been
unconventional. I have never walked the
beaten path and I have always tried to do
things in a way that has suited me and
what I feel is the right thing to do.
"It so happens that it turns out to be
unconventional choices, but the most
important thing is that those
unconventional choices get appreciated by
the audience and applauded by them. That
is something which is my true
accomplishment because of them.
