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

Throw a frisbee at the beach in my home town and itll bounce off at least a dozen attractive women. Maybe I just happen to live in a town with fairly high number of attractive ladies. Anushka Sharma, welcome to my home town. Imagine being a guide to a Bollywood celebrity who aint from Mumbai. One never knows which way the she is going to crack open. But when the sexy Sharma opens her mouth, words spill, and then there are long pauses before many answers. Its hard to tell whether they signal deep thought, calculations of evasive action, or simply the paralysis of someone pausing over a dessert menu. Our menu for the day was a chocolate cookie and a frothy cappucino. She loves it, sips it and you see the froth line just over her upper lip which she gracefully takes off. We all do, dont we? She sits cross legged, then grabs the green cushion. She sits in comfortable positions, then her eyes glance at her publicist and her mother who sit at a safe distance and far away from her infectious smile. I keep looking at her motions. Anushka flows and how! She is refreshingly unpolished and thats what makes her a perfect date..

If youre an actress, the quest for a decent part on the screen is still a difficult one. For this towering beauty, she has managed to achieve that in her debut film itself - a decent part. The date continues. Some film talk, some army stories, a book she is reading, some newspaper gossips and some serious writing. And just minutes before I was about to leave, a more than just a decent writer herself, she allows me to access one of her very private write-ups which I patiently go through on her MacBook. She stands at the same place where I first saw her standing the moment I entered her room. For a minute she came across as a different Anushka Sharma. My eyes scroll through the write-up and at her when she talks about her dear uncle who is no more but all there in her room, in her writing and in her sub-conscious mind. I see her eyes just a bit moist but then so strong is this lady that she doesnt allow a tear to role down her cheek. Her sheer strength reflects in her writing and her eyes. Are you going to take back the candle stand or shall we keep it? Where did that come from? A voice across the bed asks me. Thats Anushkas mother. Amusingly clever and humorous. In a split second, the room is filled with laughter. For the last time my eyes catch a glimpse of my beautiful date. She is at her best again. She smiles and then laughs out loud. Bless her!
