Anushka, who made a dream debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, has also bagged a role in Yash Chopra's next untitled film, in which she once again teams up with King Khan.

There had been rumours about the actress dating cricketer Suresh Raina. However, Anushka not only denied them but also claimed not to know him at all.

Anushka was born in Bangalore to Col. Ajay Kumar and Ashima Sharma. Her parents originally hail from Uttarakhand. She has an elder brother named Karnesh, who was a state-level cricketer and is now in the Merchant Navy. She studied in Army School and graduated with specialisation in arts from Mount Carmel College, Bangalore. She later moved to Mumbai to pursue her modelling career.

After that there was no looking back for this starry-eyed beauty as she signed several modelling assignments and television commercials including Silk & Shine, Nathella Jewellery and Fiat Palio.
-
Movies were not on her agenda till Anushka's family moved to Mumbai and her agency sent her pictures to Yash Raj Films. After a few auditions, she was officially cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi for the female lead, Taani. A film critic said, "Anushka looks the character and surprises you with a confident performance. It's no small achievement to share screen space with an actor of the calibre of SRK and Anushka manages it very well from start to end." The role fetched Anushka a Best Actress nomination at the Filmfare Awards.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was followed by Badmaash Company opposite Shahid Kapoor, where she played spunky con girl, Bulbul.

“Just good friends” is what the couple claimed to be for the past one-year. But rumour has it that actress Sonakshi Sinha is the reason behind their break-up.

Anushka's rising popularity in Bollywood has also increased her brand value. She was honoured as the celebrity endorser for Reliance Communications Limited at the NDTV Good Times Gadget Guru Awards held recently.
