Anushka Sharma: Don't give up on love too soon

Anushka Sharma is not your everyday girl — she has never been. She reminds you of the overachieving girl in your class. Perhaps, envy is one of the reasons that she's also one of the most trolled celebrities on social media.

Anushka, who will next be seen opposite Salman Khan in 'Sultan', speaks about how she copes with criticism and barbs, among other things.

When I read the script of 'Sultan', I knew my role would require a lot of energy and effort because it would mean learning a whole new sport — wrestling — and then I had to train my body to look like a wrestler. Also, I had to learn a new lingo and guess what, I had less than six weeks to do all that.

Those six weeks were crazy; I would be training in the morning, shooting in Film City and then coming back to Yash Raj studios for more training.

I was not even in touch with my family. It really was exhausting and I had asked my staff to keep me away from whatever was happening, because, one, I was too exhausted and two, I wanted to focus. It is a novelty to see a female wrestler on screen and when I was chosen to play the role, a lot of people were skeptical and wondered if I could play the part.

I am tall, but not a big person as one would perceive a wrestler to be. I started researching, then Ali (Abbas Zafar, the film's director) told me that wrestlers need not necessarily be big; they come in different weight categories.
