On a Date with Anushka Sharma - Part 1 : Bollywood News

DP: Whats the definition of Patriotism for you? I mean, you know it better than all of us.

AS: More than anything else. I have too much respect for them. My brother is in the Navy. People think that its only the fathers and brothers who make sacrifices, while they are on the battlefield and all. No! Even mothers sacrifice a hell lot. While your father is posted somewhere else, its your mother who is bringing you up.

DP: Any funny or bizarre moments that took place?

AS: Yes there are so many. But the one that is common is that when your father is posted for a year somewhere else, and he comes home after his duty, the child questions, Yeh kaunse uncle hain (laughs). I am more proud of the fact that I come from an army background than being just an actor. I feel like I am the second richest person in the world.

(As our Army talk takes a stand-at-ease position, we shift our focus to the hot cappuccino lying silent and whispering, Someone please come and have me. We grab our hands, add the brown cane sugar and sip our delicious drink. The mood became frothy now and I ask Anushka....)

DP: You like chocolate cookies?

AS: I love them and Im going to eat yours too. This is my idea of a perfect date.
