Mumbai, Jul 25: Anushka Sharma came to Bollywood as an outsider and became a top star. The actor is in a position where it is easy for her to get high on her success and befooled by fake praise. But Anushka says she is her biggest critic and the fact that she can easily identify fake compliments keeps her sane.anushka3

"I am highly critical of myself. I am never satisfied with my work. I am not someone who can be fooled by praise at all. In fact, I quickly sniff out people who are being fake with me. It doesn't go unnoticed with me. "

"But I do have certain set of people around me like my team who are very honest to me and I am grateful for that. They are like family, they are very honest and not let me create a bubble for myself to live in because that can be detrimental," Anushka said .

The actor started her Bollywood journey nine years back with Shah Rukh Khan's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and she now believes she was meant to be in the movies. Anushka says film industry has helped her to understand the life better and has made her stronger as an individual.

"I have been here for a long time and since I am still working, I think it (film industry) was meant for me. It is teaching me a lot of things, it is helping me grow in many ways." "It is a great place to learn about life, it toughens you (as a person) and builds up your personality in a good way. I do feel it is a great place to be in," she said.

Her life as an actor has taught her that be it success or failure, everything is temporary. "Attaching yourself to success and failure too much is not healthy and good for you. It is better to focus your energy in reinventing yourself as an actor with every film," she adds.

Anushka, who has given some unconventional performances in films like 'NH 10' and 'Phillauri', says she draws a lot of inspiration from her contemporaries. "I do feel the kind of actors who are around me, I mean my contemporaries who are doing such good work and are talented, I take lot of inspiration from the work they do and it pushes me to do better."

"I think it is a very healthy environment and there are so many people whose work I appreciate. I am happy I have the opportunity to see that kind of talent in female actors that we have today in our country," she said. In 2016 Anushka had two releases - 'Sultan' and 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' both turned out to be huge hits.

This year, the actress had 'Phillauri' which got mixed reviews and is gearing up for 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' set to release on August 4. In 2018 she will be seen in 'Pari' and Aanand L Rai's film that also features Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. "I am happy with the kind of work I am doing. I am happy that I am getting to do varied kind of roles and offer something different to the audience."

"I think it is important to keep redefining yourself as an actor with the roles you do and at the same time create diversity in your body of work. Also one should keep themselves relevant and exciting in the minds of people," she said. In 'Jab Harry Met Sejal', directed by Imtiaz Ali, Anushka plays the role of a Gujarati girl Sejal and SRK is a tour guide named Harry.

Mumbai, May 12: Superstar Salman Khan on Tuesday released his latest romantic single "Tere Bina" featuring Jacqueline Fernandez while in quarantine at his Panvel farm house.

The actor, along with close family and friends from the industry, including Iulia Vantur, Waluscha De Sousa, is living in the farm house. This is the second song Salman has released amid the coronavirus pandemic, after "Pyaar Karona."

"About seven weeks ago, when we came to the farm, we didn't know we will be here under a lockdown. So we wanted to do things to keep ourselves busy. That's when we decided to do these songs. We launched 'Pyaar Karona' and now, we are launching 'Tere Bina'," Salman said in a statement.

The song, sung and directed by Salman, is composed by his friend Ajay Bhatia and written by Shab bir Ahmed.

The actor said he had the song "Tere Bina" with him for quite a while but because it wasn't fitting into any of his film, he decided to release it now.

Jacqueline said she didn't think they would be able to shoot the song, which they finished in four days of evening shoots, with such limitations.

"We are used to shooting songs on a large stage with grand production costs. There are costumes, hair, make up. All of a sudden, we find ourselves with a team of three people. For the first time, I was checking lighting and moving props around. It was a great experience and it taught us how to make the most of what we have," she said.

Salman recently sent out food packets and ration from his farm house to those affected by the lockdown.

The post was accompanied by a photograph that showed the couple smiling.

Hanks announced on Thursday that he and his wife have been tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The actor couple, who is currently in Australia to shoot for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann's untitled Elvis Presley film, decided to get tested after they felt "a bit tired".

Washington, May 26: Making a slight change to the name of their newborn, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his singer girlfriend Grimes have now named their first child X AE A-Xii.

The difference is only in the numeral part of the name which is now written in the Roman format.

Earlier this month, the celebrity couple hogged headlines for naming their son X AE A-12.

The change in the name came when an Instagram follower of the Canadian singer asked if she had considered changing the name of the child and she replied with, "X AE A-Xii."

However, the performer didn't provide further insight concerning the reason behind the change.

Canadian singer Grimes gave birth to her first child on May 4.

The 32-year-old had earlier taken to Twitter and explained the meaning of the baby's name.
