Anushka Sharma and Fawad Khan grabbed eyeballs with their noteworthy chemistry in Karan Johar blockbuster Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. 

Now, the diva has opened up about her equation with the Pakistani hearthrob. In a rather surprising revelation, Anushka told a publication that she had never really been in touch with Fawad in the first place, Pinkvilla reported.

"I'd never been in touch with Fawad, to begin with. We only interacted on the set, and that's about it. So there was nothing new about it, in that sense, after the incident took place," she said.

The actor further said that having Fawad in the team was a relief. "I remember when Fawad was cast, we all felt relieved because the other person (in the film) just had to be as strong, and it is a cameo, with little space for Fawad's character (Ali) to reveal his feelings for Alizeh. He had to convey a lot more, merely through expressions," she added.

SCREENGRAB

On the controversy over Pakistani actors in the film, Anushka said she had not seen it coming. "We didn't feel it would turn out the way it did. Everybody had worked hard for months on the movie when things were very different, and now we couldn't have been held responsible for a changed (Indo-Pak) situation."

"But things between India and Pakistan have always been iffy, so this self-censorship on the part of filmmakers to not work with Pakistani artistes was weird in its own way, no? I wouldn't want to comment on the issue because it can get misconstrued. And it's a much larger issue than a film," she said.

Some men are unable to adjust to changing women: Anushka

"All I know is that I come from an Army background. My father was in the infantry, I've sat next to my mother and seen her glued to the TV screen during the Kargil War when my father would call us once in three months, and we didn't know where he was. I've seen it that close, so I can understand how people must've felt. But the issue itself is beyond two people's conversation on it," Anushka added.

Abdul jabbar | 7 years ago | Reply Salute to everyone, good idea good comments but for what ? . Only nonsense! India and Pakistan are two enemies, it's a universal truth no one can deny it. Only fools like AMAN KI ASHA ,or two neighbours, or people of same origin, that's all is rubbish when first Muslim enter the sub continent it had divided into two different religion and followers. One who's bright in nature and custom with cultural heritage of bravery and kindness and generosity to every mankind apart from there gene, color,or social status. The other one look like humble and down to earth but their nature is wicked and cunning, they have divided humam being into casts. The worst example is SHUDDERS. Their culture and heritage is vulgarity and exploitation of women in the name of religion the only job of a woman from birth till death is to make enjoyment for man. From Pundits to followers and from high ranked politicians to lowest grade worker each in his capacity exploits women. In India The woman name is currency each and every Hindu used her without any hesitation. The biggest of all is Bollywood. .
