Apart from being a superb actress, Anushka Sharma is also a genius producer. She chooses really exceptional stories to bankroll to be told on big screen. She has become the first women in the industry to be successful as an actor- producer. But things weren't do easy when she started out. Anushka reveals that she was given terrible career advices when she started getting into productions. She said, "I was told by many that I should concentrate on my film career and not get distracted by production. Today, I can’t imagine myself without NH10, Pari, Phillauri, Bulbbul, Paatal Lok and the exciting projects that lie ahead. The journey started with NH10 and while it started with a bang, I can tell you that I was a clueless producer."

She further revealed thoughts on her first production, 'NH10'. She said, "NH10 was a necessary film to shake things up for women actresses. NH10 showed how a woman can fight to survive, can stand up for herself. I’m glad I became a producer with an important film in our cinematic history.”

Anushka is glad that she took the path she's on and ignored the negative advices. "I’m glad that I chose to be an actor-producer and I’m lucky that I was successful doing both. It definitely helped in showing our industry that actresses are not unidimensional. It was an important step to change the narrative in our industry,” she says.
