In the dazzling world of Bollywood, some debuts leave a mark that time cannot fade. One such actress stepped into the spotlight opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan and instantly became the talk of tinsel town. Over time, she transformed into one of the most successful actresses of her generation, delivering a string of box office hits and memorable performances. However, she could’ve become the next big thing from Bollywood until she decided to step away from the glitz and glamour.
The Most Successful Debutant of Bollywood
Here we are talking about Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, who started her acting career at the young age of 20, with a debut at Lakmé Fashion Week in 2007, where she walked for designer Wendell Rodricks. Later, she stepped into Bollywood alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the classic Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, released in 2008. The movie, made on a budget of Rs 39 crores, became a box office success, raking in over Rs 157 crores.
Following her debut, Anushka starred in a series of successful films. In 2010, she delivered a notable performance in Badmaash Company, with Shahid Kapoor, which was well-received. That same year, she won over audiences in Band Baaja Baaraat, which also did well at the box office.
The Down Phase of Anushka Sharma Until…
After Band Baaja Baaraat, her fourth film Patiala House, with Akshay Kumar, did not perform as expected and was considered a disaster. Later, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, released in 2011, emerged as a hit. In 2012, Anushka reunited with Shah Rukh Khan for another successful film Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Her success continued with Aamir Khan’s 2014 blockbuster PK, which became one of the biggest hits of all time. Another major success followed in Salman Khan’s 2016 sports-drama Sultan, which also dominated the box office.
When Anushka Decided to Step Down from the World of Glitz and Glam
When Anushka Sharma was riding high in her career, soaking up all the success, she crossed paths with Virat Kohli. They both showed up for an ad shoot, and that’s where their friendship blossomed. What started as a friendship soon turned into a romance, and they dated for a while. After some time together, they decided to tie the sacred knot in 2017.
Anushka chose to step back from her acting career to support her husband and manage their family. Her last film before marriage was Zero, with Shah Rukh Khan, which hit theaters in 2018 and became a box office dud. Post-marriage, Anushka devoted herself to her family and Virat Kohli. While she may have stepped away from acting, she continued to produce films.
Anushka Emerged as a Strong Pillar for Better Half Virat Kohli and His Career
Anushka stood firm at every stage of her husband Virat’s career. She was seen cheering on her husband during the World Cup, Champions Trophy, and IPL events. Anushka could not hold back her feelings of excitement on Tuesday when Virat Kohli’s team RCB won the IPL for the first time in 18 years.
