Anushka Sharma is one of the most successful actresses in Bollywood. She always speaks highly of her contemporaries and stays away from controversies. However, once rumours were rife that Anushka was dating her Band Baja Baaraat co-star, Ranveer Singh. But neither of them ever accepted or denied the speculations. After their alleged breakup, Ranveer started dating Deepika Padukone, which reportedly led to a brawl between the two actresses. Although rumours of a 'cold war' between them made a lot of noise, they always spoke highly of each other.
Once, in an old interview, a journalist asked Anushka Sharma about her stardom, saying, "You really haven't stirred up the industry as actresses like Deepika and Sonam have. Why?" Responding to it, the actress said that she had given three back-to-back hits in three years and is known for her talent. Taking a dig at her fellow actresses, Anushka said:

Anushka Sharma's old interview was shared on Reddit and caught a lot of attention. Soon after, many social media users flooded the comments section with their reactions. The netizens slammed Anushka for boasting about her achievements and showing her 'pick-me' attitude. A user penned, "Says the person who has been relevant only thanks to her relationship for ages." Another wrote, "You are known for being the wife of the ex-captain of Indian cricket team."
