Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma recently opened up about how her upbringing in an army family shaped her life. During an event in Mumbai, Anushka shared stories about her father, Colonel Ajay Kumar Sharma, and how his army background helped her grow up with a disciplined mindset.
Anushka mentioned that her father never had to raise his voice to keep her and her brother in line. If they ever threw a fit during mealtime, instead of scolding them, her father would simply ask them to leave the table and said, “You can eat this later when you feel hungry.” This taught Anushka and her sibling the importance of valuing what they had and appreciating the efforts of their parents. She explained how these small but firm rules helped her become the person she is today, both in her personal and professional life.
From Early Struggles to Bollywood Stardom
Anushka Sharma’s journey in Bollywood began in 2008 with her debut in the romantic movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi alongside Shah Rukh Khan. The film was a major hit, making Anushka an overnight star.
