Mumbai: Anushka Sharma now owns a house on Yari Road. Not even a few months old, she already wants to move out to Bandra. "Call me restless. Call me a nomad. Or just mad. But I want to move to Bandra", reports Mid Day.
She adds, "I don't want to do so because everyone from the film industry is moving there. Bandra reminds me of Bangalore where I spent a lot of my growing years.
So yes, even though I am still putting my new home in Yari Road together piece by piece, I've already moved out emotionally."
Could Anushka's impending move also have something to do with the fact that her Band Baaja Baaraat co-star Ranveer Singh stays in Bandra? "Oh, does he?" Anushka pretends to be unaware of this 'fact'.
"I thought he stayed in Khar. Really, it makes no difference what people think about my relationship with Ranveer.
I don't owe anyone an explanation except my parents. And I've realised saying yes or no to rumours only adds to endless speculation. Better to keep quiet."
Prod her some, and she admits, "We are buddies. We hit it off from Day 1 probably because we're both not industry kids.
As outsiders trying to find a foothold in the industry, I think we empathised with one another from the beginning.
Today I can proudly say Ranveer and Maneesh Sharma (who directed Band Baaja Baaraat)are the only friends I have from the film industry, if they can be considered a part of the industry already."
As for being romantically involved with Ranveer, she says, "People are talking about the great chemistry on screen between us.
Pardon me for saying so, but real-life couples just don't work on screen. And besides, the credit for this 'chemistry' should go to writer Habib Faisal and director Maneesh Sharma who created it.
We loved our roles and are decent enough actors to get under the skin of our characters."
Apparently, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra said no to the role of the spunky Delhi girl in Band Baaja Baaraat.
Characteristically, she admits she was not the first choice for the role. "I've heard of some big stars who said no to Band Baaja Baaraat.
When it came to me, I immediately agreed. First of all, I am not a big enough star to say no to such a strong role in a Yash Raj film. Also, I fell in love with my character Shruti Kakkar the minute I read the script."
