On a Date with Anushka Sharma: Part 2 : Bollywood News

AS: Ok. What made you choose this blue t-shirt youre wearing for todays date?

DP: I guess because all my other t-shirts were in for a wash.

AS: Ok, I cant do this (laughs). Just let me talk (laughs)

DP: No, but first you need to tell me how does my t-shirt look

AS: It looks so nice. Ok, let me ask you an honest question.

DP: Thats good. Go on.

AS: Do you really think that media can make a star?

DP: It can break one too, you should remember that. But yes, we do.

AS: But its a monopoly isnt it. You can choose to play what you want. I mean, you write what you want to.

DP: Media has become a monopoly in a way but now-a-days you can differentiate between the good, the bad and the ugly.

AS: Yes, true. See, Ive not been an actor for too long thus I can say this - Even actors are like normal people. Youve got a wife or a husband to answer to, kids to answer to, parents to answer to and then the media writes things without even a confirmation. They quote their favourite sentence from a known source.

DP: I completely agree with you Anushka. Things sometimes are taken for granted but its not that all the media is at fault. There are a few of them who go by their own rules.

AS: Its not difficult to make a beautiful story without putting in the bakwaas masala. Im not saying that everyone does it. I respect some journalists and their work because they carry themselves with that dignity. Im a huge Barkha Dutt fan because of Kargil and also because my father was in Kargil at that time. I am not only talking about entertainment journalism.

DP: This is becoming a very serious date now.

AS: (laughs out loud) My tummy hurts more now.

DP: You are an army kid and every sentence or an answer has to have some sort of an army connection, isnt it?

AS: Yes. Its my identity. You wont believe this but even my publicist is an army mans daughter.

DP: How interesting

AS: It is....because we live in a different world all together. Our schools are in the army campus, the hospitals are there, everything is inside.

DP: I hope you find your man inside too.

AS: Where did that come from?

DP: I dont know. It just came out. But does that happen to you sometime when you talk something and you dont know where, how and why it came out?

AS: (laughs) I just say whatever comes to my mind. I am never on guard. I dont need to be because Im heading the right way. Ive got nothing to hide. Im just too cool and love myself (laughs).

Im too straight-forward and people dont get that. Sometimes I get in trouble too.
