Cinema keeps Anushka motivated

Anushka Sharma knows the power of a story well-told and the actress says her love for cinema is what keeps her motivated and not fears that are part and parcel of every performer’s life. It has been a good year for Anushka as both her characters, Aarfa and Alizeh, from ‘Sultan’ and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ brought her critical praise as well as commercial success.

Anushka, 28, is now looking forward to the release of her upcoming home production ‘Phillauri’ besides Imtiaz Ali’s tentatively titled ‘The Ring’, where she is teaming up with Shah Rukh Khan for the third time.

The actress says she does not like to limit herself to a territory as she is always looking for what she can do next, be it acting or producing films. “Insecurities have a way to come in because there are a lot of people who tell you things like ‘do more films’, ‘out of sight out of mind’ in the industry.

So, you have to back yourself and not let what others are doing affect you and let your decisions come from that because that will make you unhappy.” She continues, “I try to work without fear, a lot of times we let our fears decide our course of action. I have never let that happen with me. So, while I am a very happy person and doing well in life, I feel I am also growing as a person because it is equally important for me.”
