“I believe that the way you are as a person and your thought process influences the kind of roles you pick. You identify with certain roles because you know that these people exist even though you may not relate with them completely.
“I may not relate to Aarfa or Alizeh completely but I know that these are the women that exist. I cannot play girls who don’t have that kind of gravitas. It is important for me,” she told PTI.
In “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, Ranbir and Anushka reunited after the failure of “Bombay Velvet” but the actress says they were not worried that their past performance will cast a shadow on their chemistry in the film.
“Actors don’t think like that. Ranbir is very good at what he does. We don’t carry the baggage of that film or any film for that matter. ‘Ae Dil…’ had different characters and a different story. In fact, Ranbir and my chemistry is one the best in the film,” she says.
Anushka, 28, says Johar cast them because of their friendship.
“We share a great equation. We may not talk to each other all the time but whenever we meet, we get along really well, that’s the equation I have with Ranbir. This is why Karan wanted to cast us because he saw the easy relationship that we have. We don’t demand anything of each other.”
