Anushka Sharma on handling stardom

Anushka Sharma is a popular actress but she’s recently said that handling stardom like the Khans is on a different level altogether.

“I sometimes think about this (referring to stardom) and get scared. I haven’t experienced superstardom like Salman, Shah Rukh or Aamir. But even this (my stardom) can give a false sense, forget about what they face. I won’t be able to handle it. It’s a talent the way Salman, Shah Rukh handle their stardom,” said Sharma, according to Hindustan Times.

Sharma made her debut with Shah Rukh Khan and has recently shot for Imtiaz Ali’s next with him too. She further said, “I recently worked with Shah Rukh and the dedication with which he works, the enthusiasm, the amount of respect he gives to the director despite coming a long way in life, is not easy.”

On dealing with your own ego, Sharma also added, “I believe if I start taking myself too seriously that ‘I am an actor’, it will affect my creativity. Once ego enters your creativity, it destroys you. Stardom gives you a false sense of self. These are transitory things, this will eventually go away”.

Sharma’s last release was ‘Phillauri’ which released on Friday.
