Anushka Sharma made her successful dream debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 2009 with ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, in which she played Taani, a bubbly Punjabi girl. Many movies followed post the debut in which she played roles that had similar character sketches. It was her home production movie ‘NH10’ that for the first time unleashed the wild side of the actress on screen.
Talking about making the transition, the actress said, “I remember there was a time in my life when I did a lot of these extrovert kind of roles. But there was this phase when I got really... Maybe because I was changing as a person, I realised I could not relate to these things anymore. There were people around me, who had perhaps known me for a while like friends, industry people and journalists, they felt that there was something wrong with me. That suddenly I was different. But that's the natural progression that you go through."
She further spoke about relating to her character ‘Sejal’ in ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. "Imtiaz and Shah Rukh have also said that Sejal, according to them, is similar to me, but a lot of times we associate a screen image that an actor has to his or her own personality. How we diversify these roles is very simple - the girl is either bubbly or she is serious.But this extrovert persona carries a lot of other personalities. I think Sejal and I are quite dissimilar.”
