I kept running away from it

She`s sexy, single and currently, the talk of the town. An interview with Rab Ne Bana Di`s Anushka Sharma and what kind of guy she`s looking for in real life!

Adi Chopra believed the film was made by Rab. What`s your opinion on the quote?
Absolutely correct. Me being a part of this film is also because of Rab because now that I`ve done this film, in a strange way I believe that everything that has happened in my life before this has kind of structured to get me to this. In terms of me moving to Mumbai, me not being too exposed in spite of being in the modelling world for quite some time, etc, all helped me get Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. It was entirely Rab`s blessings for all of us, not for me alone.

The recently updated UK figures have grossed almost half a million pounds in seven days for your film. Are you going to be a million-dollar baby by the end of two weeks?

Actually I don`t understand figures very well. I do ask Yash Raj how the film is doing at the box office and what the people are thinking about it. But as you`re telling me that the film has grossed half a million pounds, I`m sure the people are going to the cinemas and watching it. But I wanted everyone to come out of the theatres and scream on top of their voice - `What a film man! I`m going and watching it the next time`. It feels good to be a part of a successful film and even special when you know that you`ve contributed towards the success.

Will the success of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi take your feet off the ramp?
This film happened by chance but modelling was something that I always wanted to do. I`ve never said that I wanted to be Miss World or an actress. I just wanted to be a model walking the ramp. Whether I will return back to the ramp is all up to Rab now. Let`s see.

Are you happy with the unhappy response from quite a few critics from the media world?
Yeah, I heard that many critics haven`t taken the film very well. But that`s fine. Everyone is entitled to their own individual opinion and they are viewers after all. I respect all the critics` opinion.

How critical were your parents after watching the film?
My elder brother will never pay me any compliment because he is harsh. And so is my dad. After watching the film my brother said, `You can act, huh`. For my mother, I`m the best in the world. My dad was impressed though.

You made my friend and colleague who was sitting next to me while watching the film cry. Why?
Really? Actually I wanted everyone to cry. My friends called me up saying that they really enjoyed the film and had fun throughout. But in return I asked them whether they cried watching the same. I wanted them to cry. If someone has cried, they are feeling for you and your character. I guess it`s nice in a way.

So tell me, are your parents going to look out for a boy like Surinder or Raj for your marriage?
My father always says, `You please go and find a boy for yourself because I doubt if I will ever find one for you`. I tend to go the hyper way sometimes which is fine because that`s my age. So if I was ever to find someone for me, the guy has to be like Surinder Sahni. If you are dating a rich brat, how far can you go on is my question and where are you going to go? You want to be with someone who loves you like Suri does, that is unconditionally. He has to be sweet and genuine. I was watching the film and was cursing my character because I failed to understand why Taani isn`t falling in love with him.

You envy Gauri Khan then?
(Laughs out aloud) No, not at all. They are such a cute couple. I can never think of that.

Would you leave your husband in real life if you find someone else?
For Taani, she didn`t marry out of choice but Anushka Sharma is going to marry out of choice. And when I do get married I will never think of leaving my husband.

You are a classic dancer with a classical grace.
Thank you for the compliment and thanks to my Bharatnatyam classes I did till I was in the seventh standard. My mother always wanted me to learn classical dancing but I kept running away from it. What you`ve seen on screen is thanks to Shiamak Davar who helped me for one whole month of training.

Have you been offered any toothpaste commercial because your smile kills?
Oh really. I haven`t been offered any toothpaste commercial but the day I get an offer, I`ll send you a thank you note.

How similar is Anushka to Taani?
In more ways than one. But Anushka right now is very tired and I`ve been doing these interviews since morning which will go on till 11pm. Please tell me how do these actors do it. Hats off to them. I have to learn the tricks of the trade. Sometimes it does get tiring to answer the same questions again and again.
