Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma is in no hurry to get hitched.
“Marriage is on the cards, but I don’t know when will it happen. I haven’t thought about it yet. I have done everything in my life very normally. And marriage is definitely there on my agendas in life. But I don’t know when will it happen,” the 28-year-old actress said at an event in New Delhi.
However, she feels the decision wouldn’t have a negative impact on her career. “I feel things are changing now. Actresses are working at [the] same pace even after getting married or having kids. This is an amazing time for women in industry. I also would like to continue things like a normal person [after marriage]. It is important to be that way. I didn’t like [it] when people said that actresses have [a] shelf life,” she added.
When asked about the increasing number of splits in Bollywood, Sharma said the divorce rate is increasing throughout the country. She feels one of the reasons for the high rate of divorce is women are empowered and take their own decisions.
“I am a very basic person. I still believe marriage happens only once and you have to sustain it. But I guess divorce rate is increasing in the country because the woman is changing. Their thinking is changing, the equation they used to have with men is not same anymore.
“Women are financially independent and they are not looking for a life partner so that they can have a secure life. They want someone who is compatible to them. I feel one has to constantly work to sustain the marriage. No relationship works without putting in efforts,” she said.
The actress, who has always been guarded about her personal life, said she friendzones men quickly.
“I friendzone guys very quickly. I always draw a line. In [the] industry Ranbir Kapoor is my very good friend. We have recently worked a lot together and share a good bonding.”
