Anushka Sharma is born to Col. Ajay Kumar Sharma, an officer in the Indian Army and Ashima Sharma, a home maker. Although her parents are from Garhwal, Uttarakhand, Anushka was born in Bangalore. She also has an elder brother named Karnesh. Karnesh used to play cricket at state level and is in the Merchant Navy. Anushka studies in the Army School and graduated in arts from Mount Carmel College, Bengaluru. Later she shifted to Mumbai in order to pursue her career as a model and make it big in the world of fashion.

Early Career
Initially Anushka thought of making it big in the fashion industry as a model. She had no dreams of acting in films then. She even said once, “I can’t see myself doing anything else”. Fortunately she was chosen to be Wendell Rodrick’s model at the Lakme Fashion Week for his Les Vamps Show. Later she was picked to be Rodrick’s finale model at the Spring Summer 2007 Collection.
Anushka Sharma enrolled with the Elite Modeling Agency. Yash Chopra was looking for someone to essay the role of a small town Punjab girl. Elite Modeling Agency sent Anushka’s portfolio to Yash Raj Studio and in 2008, she got her dream debut in Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi where she portrayed the role of Taani. It was a dream debut in all regards. Firstly, she got paired with Shah Rukh Khan who is one of the leading actors of Bollywood in her very first movie and secondly, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi became a box office success. The songs were popular and her role stood apart even opposite SRK.
Other mainstream movies
Although Anushka Sharma became a household name soon after the popularity of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, other directors, film makers and producers could not rope her in their films to invest on her new found success. This was because of the fact that she was bound by a three film contract with Yash Raj Films. That is why the year 2009 did not see her taking part in any films.
Anushka’s second film, Badmaash Company made under the banner of Yash Raj Films was released on 7 May, 2010. The cast also included Shahid Kapoor, Meiyang Chang and Vir Das in the other roles. The film was an average grosser at the Bollywood box office. The film got mixed bag of reviews from the film critics.
In the year 2010 itself, Anushka Sharma completed her part of the three film contract with the Yash Raj Films by starring in Band Baaja Baaraat, a romantic comedy. This film was released on 10 December, 2010 and also marked the debut of newcomer Ranveer Singh as actor and Maneesh Sharma as the director. The story of this film revolved around the business of wedding planning.
Anushka Sharma played the role of Shruti Kakkar, a typical Delhi Punjabi girl who has the dreams of setting up her own wedding planning company. Anushka herself commented that Band Baaja Baaraat was her best film till date. Band Baaja Baaraat went on to become a sleeper hit. The film grossed INR 21.44 crore. This was the first time in her three films acting career that a film’s success rested entirely on the shoulders of Anushka Sharma (who was just two films old than her co star, the debutant Ranveer Singh).
Anushka went on to win several awards for her acting in Band Baaja Baaraat. The only time she won so many awards was after the success of her first film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Ending her three film contract with the Yash Raj Studios, Anushka started filming for her fourth film titled Patiala House alongside Nikhil Advani and Akshay Kuamr. This was her first venture outside the Yash Raj camp. Patiala House released on 11 February, 2011. The film was an average grosser at the box office but Anushka’s performance was critically acclaimed once again.
In December 2011 she was back with her Ban Baaja Baaraat team for her fourth film with the Yash Raj Films. The film titled Ladies VS Ricky Bahl featured Ranveer Singh as her co actor and was directed by Maneesh Sharma. This film however did not do too well at the Bollywood box office. As of 2012, Anushka is set to appear in Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola which is in the pre production stage and is busy shooting her fifth film under the banner of Yash Raj Films. The name of this film is yet to be decided.

Anushka sharma was born to an army based family in bangalore. Her father is a highly ranked army officer and her mother is a housewife. She has one elder brother who was a state-level cricketer and is now in the merchant navy. She studied in army school and then excelled to achieve a graduation specialized in arts from mount carmel college, bangalore. Anushka sharma is currently studying for a degree in economics at mount carmel, which she is completing through correspondence. Right from a young age, anushka sharma wished to make it big in the glamor world. She was once quoted as saying “i can’t see myself doing anything else.” With moral support from her parents, a confident anushka enrolled in the elite modeling agency.

Anushka sharma was groomed by renowned style consultant prasad bidapa, whom she met when she was just 15 years of age. Bidapa admits that anushka sharma always had the quality to be a star. She was the find of internationally acclaimed goan fashion designer wendell rodricks. He spotted her while she was moving around in a clothes showroom in bangalore. Their chance meeting resulted in her moving to mumbai.

Anushka sharma began her modeling career at the lakme fashion week and was a show-stopper at wendell rodricks les vamps show. Within a year she became a sensational model in india, and was picked to be wendell rodricks’s finale model at the spring summer ’07 collection.

Through the elite modeling agency, her pictures reached the casting directors of aditya chopra’s rab ne bana di jodi and she was called in for an audition. After a few more auditions, she was officially cast for the female lead, taani. On her portrayal of this character in her debut film, anushka has been described by viewers as delivering a confident performance likened to that of a veteran actress and standing out even against her co-star, shahrukh khan. Anushka sharma has stated that she currently has a contract to do two more movies with yash raj films but is free to do films outside yrf to further her career if she wishes.

I would love to have someone like suri. He should be a nice man. I believe in having a man who is beautiful and strong from inside … inner beauty is most important. But i found suri to be handsome and good-looking too.he came up to me and said mine was one of the best performances he had seen by a debutante. He placed his hand on my head while saying this. So he was blessing me.all the while i was modelling in bangalore, maybe there was an actor lurking within me. I’m crazy about my modelling work. I love the ramp and the backstage banter. I moved to mumbai a year ago. Movies were not a priority. I don’t come from a film background, don’t know how the industry works. I didn’t know anyone here.

Otherwise army officers, who give their lives for the country, could be posted anywhere in the back of beyond. That gets really tough on their kids. Me and my brother (who used to be a state-level cricketer) got the best of education in bangalore.i kept coming to mumbai for modelling assignments. I decided to move into mumbai a year ago with my mom, since my dad is posted out. I haven’t bought my place. Right now i’m very comfortable in the army quarters. I don’t feel the need to move from where i am.
