Anushka Sharma wants projects that ‘justifies’ time away from her daughter Vamika

As she turned 34 on May 1, actress-producer Anushka Sharma spoke about how she is focussing on being a part of the best scripts that the Hindi film industry has to offer which will make it worth her time to stay away from her year-old toddler Vamika.

“I will always want to be a part of the best scripts that come my way. I feel blessed that I am in a position today to select the type of films that I want to do, which also justifies the time that I will spend away from my child,” she stated.

“I have always been a seeker of balance in life and my priority now lies there. I want to focus on my work life and my family life in equal measure,” Sharma added.

The actress says her focus is on the quality of the films that she does.

“I’m always looking for these special scripts that fill me up with joy. I will always be open to doing projects that are incredibly interesting, represents women in cinema correctly and is also disruptive and content forward.

“As and when those come to me, I will be more than happy to do it. That’s how I’m approaching my career right now,” she said.

Sharma will be next seen in ‘Chakda Xpress’, a film that traces India’s fast bowler Jhulan Goswami’s inspirational journey as she moves up the ladder despite hindrances posed by misogynistic politics to fulfil her dream of playing the sport for the country.
