Is Anushka Sharma ALL ALONE in Bollywood?

Anushka Sharma, the bubbly girl from the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi has definitely come a long way since her first film. She has always startled us with her performances in films until now and is already a successful producer with a bunch of scripts to produce over the coming two years or so.

Given that Anushka Sharma has spent so much time in the industry, one would assume that she would have a long list of friends, some really deep connections with a few of them and must be quite a party animal herself, right?

Well, if her statements from a recent interview are to be believed, Ms. Sharma is a completely different person from what we thought she was!

In the interview, while the topic of having friends in the industry came up, she said, I don’t think I have friends in the industry; rather, I don’t have too many friends in the industry. Of course, I am friendly with them. I appreciate and respect them; they’re fun to be with. But, in general, I’m an emotionally independent person. I’ve never been someone who shares too much about my emotional state with everybody. So I’m not someone who has too many friends. The friends I have are mostly all around the world. So I meet them when I can.

Talking about either being an introvert or an extrovert, she said, ’I’m not very social by nature; I don’t have the time to. I’d rather use that time to relax and prepare for my work. I can’t have futile conversations. After I come back from a party, I feel drained emotionally and intellectually that I actually have to do something to feel better — so I watch TV or read something. At parties, the music is so loud. You can’t really have conversations with people. And I don’t like small talk because I feel it has no value. Sometimes you have to do it, but I don’t enjoy it.

Well, that’s quite honest of you, Miss Sharma!
