Fortune India wrote about the actress: “Sharma is not only the face of her clothing line Nush and several other brands such as Nivea, Elle 18, Myntra and Lavie, but also a producer. Clean Slate Films, which Sharma set up when she was 25, has produced three small-budget Hindi films-NH10, ‘Phillauri’, and ‘Pari’.
“They made around Rs400 million each at the box office. Moving beyond Bollywood, Clean Slate Films has tied up with Netflix to produce a feature film titled ‘Bulbul’ and a web-series called ‘Mai’. It is also developing and producing a web-series for Amazon Prime Video.
