Growing in my career is important, but growing as a human being is equally important: Anushka Sharma

Actor Anushka Sharma on being introspective as a person and debate surrounding her recent production

While career growth is important for Anuskha Sharma, she likes to be introspective in her pursuit of becoming a better human being. "I just want to become a better human being," Anushka said, when asked if is there something she wants to achieve as a person.

"I think there is always scope of finding the best in yourself and the shortcomings you have in person which might affect other people's lives and which might hurt other people. I am constantly very introspective as a person,” shared the Sultan star.



“I want to become a person who can be of help to others and not just myself. I want to make people happy and comfortable in my presence. Ultimately, growing in my career is important, but growing as a human being is equally important.”

Anushka revealed she is unfettered about the constant social media talk related to her personal and professional life. "I think everything happens for a reason. I also believe that if god is throwing something difficult at me, he is also making me equipped to be able to handle it. That's the beauty of living this life. It's about overcoming difficulties and having faith, and time reinforces that," said the 28-year-old.



Anushka is currently enjoying the positive reviews of her second production Phillauri. Speaking about it, she disclosed that she never makes a film with an idea of giving a message – like the way people are presuming about the film. "There is absolutely no element of trying to break superstitions. It's just an observation that we are making of superstitions. The film is about a place from where the story starts and from where we introduce the ghost in a logical way. I feel it's a funny take. It's a love story of a ghost," she said.

The actor, who made her debut with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and later starred with Aamir Khan in PK and with Salman Khan in Sultan, is eager to work with relatively newer faces in her latest film. "I want to work with new talent and new people. It adds to the freshness and newness of a film. When you work with people who have a different sensibility, it's exciting. I hope we continue to do this with our films.”



At this stage, the actor-producer is enjoying taking charge of her life. "I'm enjoying taking charge of my career and life, and that's an empowering feeling. I get a creative satisfaction. The passion to work and create movies and collaborate with young people, which is a very big thing for us. It's very good space to be in," she said.
