Back in 2013, Anushka Sharma became one of the few actresses to venture into the world of filmmaking in order to be able to promote the stories she believed in. She started the production house Clean Slate Filmz with her brother Karnesh Sharma and the duo went on to producer several hits over the years.

However, Anushka recently made a shocking statement by announcing her departure from the production business. Apparently, she made the decision in order to balance her professional and personal life after becoming a mother. On Saturday, Anushka took to Instagram to share a long and heartfelt note to announce her decision and the rationale behind it.

She wrote, "When I started Clean Slate Filmz with my brother Karnesh Ssharma, we were novices when it came to production but we had a fire in our belly and we wanted to try and set the agenda of entertainment in India through clutter-breaking content. Today, when I look back at our journey so far, I’m deeply proud of what we have created and the disruption that we have managed to achieve. While CSF started with my vision to change the narrative of what commercial projects should be like, I have to credit Karnesh who has excelled in shaping what CSF has become today."

The actress further added, "Being a new mother who has chosen to be an actor by profession, I have to balance my life in an entirely new fashion like never before. So, I have decided that whatever time I have at hand, I will dedicate it to my first love, acting! Therefore, I have decided to step away from CSF, confident that the most able person, Karnesh, is taking forward the vision with which it was created in the first place. I will continue to be the biggest cheerleader for Karnesh and CSF and hope to be a part of many clutter-breaking projects that would be produced by CSF. I can’t wait to see how he grows the company from strength to strength with the stellar line up of projects that he has handpicked, nurtured and given life to. My best wishes to the entire family at CSF. Love you all! Anushka."
