She rose to prominence with starring roles in Yash Raj Films' romances Band Baaja Baaraat (2010) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan(2012); the latter, in which she played an aspiring filmmaker, won her a Best Supporting Actress award at Filmfare.
Sharma went on to earn praise and several acting nominations for playing an avenger in the 2015 crime thriller NH10, which also marked her production debut, a dancer in the 2015 comedy-drama Dil Dhadakne Do, and a free-spirited woman in the 2016 romantic drama Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Sharma's highest-grossing releases came with the sports drama Sultan (2016), and Rajkumar Hirani's religious satire PK (2014) and biopic Sanju (2018); all three rank among the highest-grossing Indian films.

She supports various charities and causes, including gender equality and animal rights, and is the co-founder of the production company Clean Slate Films.

Early life and modelling career
Anushka Sharma was born on 1 May 1988 in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. Her father, Colonel Ajay Kumar Sharma, is an army officer, and her mother, Ashima Sharma, is a homemaker. Her father is a native of Uttar Pradesh, while her mother is a Garhwali.
Her elder brother is film producer Karnesh Sharma, who earlier served in the Merchant Navy.
Sharma has stated that being a military brat played an important role in shaping her as a person and contributing to her life.In an interview with The Times of India in 2012, she said, "I take pride in saying that I am an army officer's daughter even more than being an actor.
Acting career
Film debut and breakthrough (2008–2013)
Sharma made her acting debut in Aditya Chopra's romantic drama Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), opposite Shah Rukh Khan. She took a day to prepare for her screen test at the Yash Raj Films studio and refused to do an impromptu one.
She was signed for a three-film deal with the company and landed the leading role of Tani Sahni, a young bride to a middle-aged man, portrayed by Khan. Khalid Mohamed of Hindustan Times found her to be "assured and upright" in the film, but Nikhat Kazmi thought that she "lacks all chutzpah and can barely hold your attention".
The film was a major commercial success, emerging as the second-highest grossing Hindi film of that year,and earned Sharma Filmfare Award nominations for Best Actress and Best Female Debut. Two years later, Sharma played the leading lady in the crime-comedy Badmaash Company, directed by Parmeet Sethi and co-starring Shahid Kapoor, Vir Das and Meiyang Chang.
The film, which tells the story of four underachieving friends who begin a scam business enterprise, received mixed reviews.

Priya Gupta of The Times of India has said that "the best part of [Sharma's] stardom is that she does not have the trappings of a star." Kalpana Nair of Firstpost stated: "actresses like Sharma command the respect they do in a largely conservative and male-dominated industry and the fact that their fan base grows when they take on roles that are not conventional is good reason for us to beam widely and walk with a spring in our step".
Samar Srivastava, writing for Forbes, called her "unafraid", and added: "you would be hard-pressed to associate Sharma with the stereotype of a mainstream leading lady." The Times of India published that "..she never shies away from putting [her opinion] across."
