Anushka Sharma feels watching films doesn't always help you understand movie-making better. It's life experiences that matter. The actor-turned-producer's Army background shaped the choices she makes while producing content.

"Being Army kids, we are always open to new ideas. The constant travelling helped us understand local stories. Such experiences have not only aided us in story-telling, but also make us look at things differently, rather than in a set societal perspective," says Sharma, who runs her production house with brother Karnesh.
