Sui Dhaaga actor Anushka Sharma: I find memes hilarious and take it as compliment

Anushka Sharma does not mind that her look from Sui Dhaaga became the subject of viral memes online. The internet has been flooded with memes of a crying Anushka and the actor finds this amusing.

“I found them hilarious. If such things happen organically then it means that the trailer has spread widely and deeply and that’s why people are talking about it.

“The picture is so realistic, the character is so real that you can make a meme on it. Usually, this is something that is far remote from Anushka. I take it as a huge compliment. It is a great plus point,” Anushka told reporters here at an event.

The actor said she shared some memes with her co-star from the film, Varun Dhawan.

The film, directed by Sharat Kataria of Dum Laga Ke Haisha fame, revolves around a lower-middle-class couple who decide to become self-reliant against odds.

Asked about the rise of heartland stories, Varun said such films connect with the audience.

“If you look at the history of our Indian cinema, we used to make original films like Mother India, Anand’ etc. These are Indian stories and there were some really nice films being made at that time.

“Then western influence came to our cinema. But it is cool now as we have gone back to heartland stories. I did  Humpty Sharma Ki Dhulania, Badrinath Ki Dhulania, etc while Anushka had a rooted character in Rab De Bana Di Jodi,” he added.

Anushka Sharma, who is gearing up for the release of her forthcoming film Sui Dhaaga says that her film will be a full on family entertainer. Anushka Sharma was interacting with media at an event along with his co-actor Varun Dhawan on Tuesday.

Sui Dhaaga is based on the ‘Make in India’ campaign launched by the government in 2014, which was aimed at promoting the country’s indigenous textile industries.

Talking about the subject of the film, Anushka said, “Our country has produced amazing entrepreneurs over the years. I think start-up and entrepreneurship is big deal over here and we have celebrated that in the film.

“Our characters in this film didn’t have the opportunities but they had a lot of talent and the kind of struggle our characters go through to achieve their goal is truly an inspiring story.”

The Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actor said she feels everyone has experienced struggle in their lives.
