5 Times Anushka Sharma Proved She Was A Total Badass

Being famous means that you are constantly under the public eye but does it mean that you take everything lying down? Absolutely not! And Anushka Sharma keeps proving it again and again. Her fame, whether it is because of her professional excellence or her relationship with another high profile personality like Virat Kohli, has made her the cynosure of media and her fans. This also means that she has received a good share of compliments and brickbats, an in today’s age a more than fair share of trolling too. But it is only up to a successful celebrity to dodge failures and not-so-constructive criticism to emerge as a winner. And that’s something that Anushka Sharma does with flair.

Trolling Encounters

From being trolled for her expressions in the movie Sui Dhaaga to being questioned for Virat’s cricketing performance (right from their dating days till now!), Anushka Sharma has been brutally trolled for everything. While she had felt bad when the trolling began, later on she decided not to react to the trollers. Talking to a leading daily, she had once said:

“I have been trolled for other reasons as well. I don’t have a reaction to it. I am not going to react to a bunch of cowards sitting in front of their computers screens who are insecure and have sh*t idea of themselves. They think so lowly of themselves that they feel ki kisi aur ko neeche girayenge toh unki aukaad badegi. Aise logon ke upar kya react karu.”

When She Spoke Up About Sexism

Anushka Sharma is one of the few actors in Bollywood who has openly talked about the sexism that exists in this industry. She spoke out about the fact that women still mostly play second fiddle to the leading man in Bollywood films, get paid less than men even when they play the leading lady and then end up having shorter careers than the heroes because they are no longer seen as after they cross a certain age.

When She Did All The Stunts For NH10

Body doubles exist for a reason in Bollywood. But who needs them when you have the guts to pull of the stunts all by yourself? That’s what Anushka Sharma did for her role as Meera where the action sequences were strenuous and violent. And in her words, she also had fun while doing them! Now that’s some badass-giri right there.

When She Shut Down A Journalist For Asking Personal Questions

The media is always hungry to know about a star’s upcoming projects but the curiosity quotient also spills over to the actor’s personal lives. While many actors choose to say no comments and others lash out in anger, Anushka shuts down the journalists in her own humorous way. Once, when she was asked about her marriage plans with Virat Kohli, she ended up asking the journalist about hers as well as her age with a broad smile, which definitely plugged the flow of personal questions.

A big salute to Anushka Sharma for calling a spade a spade and staying true to herself come what may. May her tribe increase...
