Birthday girl Anushka Sharma’s audition tape from 3 Idiots left Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Hirani impressed. Watch

“Anushka auditioned for 3 Idiots? No, she didn’t,” Hirani can be heard saying in a BTS clip. Anushka then showed the audition video to them on the set, which left them both surprised. The actor mouthed Gracy Singh’s dialogue from Munna Bhai MBBS’s climax where she addressed Boman Irani’s character when he rusticates Sanjay Dutt from the medical college.

As Aamir and Rajkumar looked at the video in disbelief, Anushka hid her face in embarrassment. Aamir complimented her for tearing up in the scene without glycerin. He also ridiculed the director for rejecting her even after she gave such a great test. The trio then laugh at the coincidence as they ask the team to shoot their reactions.

Anushka Sharma made her film debut with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 and then went on to show her mettle as an actor in films like Band Baaja Baaraat, Sultan, Dil Dhadakne Do and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Sui Dhaga, and more. She also launched her production company Clean Slate Films in 2013 with brother Karnesh Sharma and helmed films like NH10, Pari and Phillauri, and OTT content like Paatal Lok, Bulbbul and Qala. The actor, last year, announced backing out of the company in order to focus on her acting career and juggling responsibilities as a mother. Married to cricketer Virat Kohli, the couple welcomed their daughter Vamika in January 2021.

Anushka Sharma is all set to be back on screens with Netflix’s biopic Chakda Xpress, where she plays Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami.
