Whoever said 'Models can't act' need to seriously have a look at Anushka Sharma's filmography. In her very first film, 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', she was pitted opposite the biggest superstar Shah Rukh Khan and yet stood out with a spirited performance as the lovable Taani. Since then she has only grown in confidence with films like 'Badmaash Company', 'Patiala House' and of course 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. In the midst of a crazy schedule at her second home Yash Raj Studios, the gorgeous and supremely talented Anushka Sharma talks about her new film 'Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl', her co-star of two films Ranveer Singh and also sheds some light on the whole media frenzy over her drastic weight loss. Read on…

With 'Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl', you have pretty much the same team which worked together on 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. Did that make working on this a lot easier? I wouldn't say pretty much the same team; it's exactly the same team except for the addition of 3 new girls (Aditi Sharma, Dipannita Sharma and Parineeti Chopra). Yes, the comfort level was much more this time as we all knew each other really well. At the same time, it's a challenge for us as a team to meet the expectations of people especially after a hugely successful and loved film like 'Band Baaja Baaraat'.

Tell us a bit about your character in the film? I play the character of Ishika Desai. She is a girl from Mumbai who is very street-smart and intelligent. She is a sales-girl by profession and can sell anything to anyone and in small and innocent ways, she cons people. How she comes across this con-man called Ricky Bahl (Ranveer Singh) who in many ways is a perfect opponent for her forms the crux of the story.
