Anushka Sharma reveals why she refuses to talk about Virat Kohli

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli has been one of those couples, who always hits the headlines and here is one more to add to that as the ‘Sultan’ actress revealed why she refuses to talk about Virat in the media.

There have been a couple of ‘split-patch up story’, so this time, when the two got back together they tried to keep it private. When asked about this by the Filmfare magazine, Anushka initially denied replying, “I won’t talk about it.”

When asked further about her personal life, she said, “Fair enough. I will tell you why I don’t want to talk about it. I was open about my relationship because I thought that’s me handling something maturely and I expected people also to handle it maturely.”

“But I feel not everyone knows how to do that. All they are interested is in scoops. ‘Oh! They met.’ – If you are dating someone you will meet them na? How can meeting someone become such big news? It was just too much. As an actor, I was giving some of my best performances but in an interview, the headline would always be about my personal life,” she added.

“This is just a deterrent in my life. The kind of things that happened last year…like the kind of questions they would ask. You are there to talk about a film and they want to ask you stupid-high-school-kids-questions like how did you meet each other. Grow up man!” she added.

She lashed out at the way media had managed the story between her and the Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli. “In the West too, actors date each other, are married, but when you read their personal interviews, their personal life is just a part of it. But here interviews just become about your personal life. And I’m part of entertainment industry, I can’t shy away from this. Actors abroad are protected. They are not allowed to talk to anyone. But I don’t have this kind of filter. Anyone can ask me anything here. So this was the decision I had to take,” Anushka concluded.

Anushka will soon start the shoot for Imtiaz Ali’s next film with Shah Rukh Khan. This will be her third movie with SRK after ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and ‘Jab Tak Hain Jaan.’
