Actress Anushka Sharma says it is of utmost importance to her to be recognised for her skills. "I have had an incredible journey, started off very well in the industry and got appreciated for the work I did. I stood out as an actor and it is of prime importance to me that I-m known for my work, and I think I established that as an actor," Anushka told IANS.

In her acting career, Anushka has played roles as different as chalk and cheese. From the simpleton Taani in "Rab Ne Bana De Jodi" to the zestful Shruti in "Band Baajaa Baaraat", from the considerate Jaggu in "PK", to the strong-willed Meera in "NH10" and Rukhsana, a daughter of a victim of satanic rituals in "Pari", she has donned different avatars.
