Lets Meet Her……………
Anushka Sharma was born to an army based family in Bangalore. Her father, Col. Ajay Kumar Sharma, is a highly ranked Army Officer and her mother Ashima Sharma is a housewife. She has an elder brother named Karnesh who was a state-level cricketer and is now in the Merchant Navy. She studied in Army School and then excelled to achieve a graduation specialized in arts from Mount Carmel College, Bangalore.
Right from a young age, Sharma wished to make it big in the modeling world but had no strong aspirations for films. She was once quoted as saying "I can't see myself doing anything else(modeling)." With moral support from her parents, a confident Anushka enrolled in the Elite Modeling Agency. She was groomed by renowned style consultant Prasad Bidapa, whom she met when she was just 15 years of age in bangalore. Bidapa admits that Anushka always had the quality to be a star when he met her for the first time.
She was the find of internationally acclaimed Goan fashion designer Wendell Rodricks. He spotted her while she was shopping in a clothes store in Bangalore. Their chance meeting resulted in her moving to Mumbai to further her career. She began her modeling career there at the Lakme Fashion Week as a show-stopper for Wendell Rodricks's Les Vamps Show. Within a year she became a sensational model in India, and was picked to be Wendell Rodricks's finale model at the Spring Summer '07 Collection. Since then the pretty and demure looking model has done campaigns for Silk & Shine, Whisper, Nathella Jewelry and Fiat Palio.
Through the Elite Modeling Agency, her pictures reached the casting directors of Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and she was called in for an audition. After a few more auditions, she was officially cast for the female lead, Taani. On her portrayal of this character in her debut film, Anushka has been described by viewers and film critics as delivering a confident performance likened to that of a veteran actress and standing out even against her co-star, Shahrukh Khan.
She has stated that she currently has a contract to do two more movies with Yash Raj Films but is free to do films outside YRF to further her career if she wishes. It has been recently confirmed that she is signed to do a movie across Shahid Kapoor in another Yash Raj Film, to be directed by Parmeet Sethi.
