Despite Being Away From Big Screen For 5 Years, This Bollywood Diva Still Maintains Her Stardom – News18

Anushka Sharma, one of Bollywood’s leading actresses, has been absent from the silver screen for the past five years, focusing on her familial life after marrying cricketing legend Virat Kohli and becoming a mother to two children. Her last film appearance was in the 2018 release Zero.

Despite her hiatus, Anushka continues to hold a prominent position in the industry, thanks to her stellar performances in acclaimed films such as Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi opposite Shah Rukh Khan, Band Baaja Baaraat, PK and Jab Tak Hai Jaan. She also faced setbacks, notably with the failure of Bombay Velvet.

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, Bombay Velvet boasted a star-studded cast including Ranbir Kapoor and Karan Johar alongside Anushka. Despite significant pre-release hype, the film failed to impress the audiences, receiving negative reviews from critics and proving to be a commercial disaster. Released on May 15, 2015, Bombay Velvet was produced by Vikas Bahl and Vikramaditya Motwane under the Fox Star Studios banner. It had a budget of Rs 120 crore but only managed to collect Rs 43 crore at the box office.

Anushka Sharma’s upcoming project, Chakda Xpress, marks her return to Bollywood. Directed by Prosit Roy, the film draws inspiration from the life of former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. Fans eagerly anticipate Anushka’s comeback, hoping for another memorable performance from the versatile actress.

Despite her absence from films, Anushka Sharma’s popularity and talent ensure that she remains a prominent figure in Bollywood. Her upcoming release is poised to reignite her presence in the industry, showcasing her versatility and impressing audiences once again.
