Anushka Sharma is one of the first actresses of her generation to work with all the three Khans. Some of her contemporaries — like Kangana Ranaut, Shraddha Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra — haven’t worked with even one yet. Not that it is a benchmark of success. But working with SRK, Salman and Aamir is just one of the things that every actress of this decade wants to cross off the checklist. Like in the late ’80s and ’90s, it was about working in a Yash Chopra film — Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla and Sridevi, all the reigning queens of the time worked with the King of Romance. Anushka’s debut film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was with Shah Rukh, she has worked with PK with Aamir and her film Sultan with Salman is due to release soon. Here, the actress talks about working with the three Khans and their varied working style. Read on..

Salman
“I feel it has been a revelation to know Salman as I didn’t know him at all before this. He’s a very interesting person to know. I am actually a very quiet person on the sets, but I used to observe him a lot. Firstly, he’s extremely genuine, he means what he says. Sometimes he might say something to somebody which they may not like. He doesn’t mince words when he talks to people. Which, according to me, is a great quality because I am like that. He’s very direct and he’s not faking it. Salman is what he is — with me or with you. He treats everybody equally and what you see is what you get. He’s very easy to work with.”

Shah Rukh
“He’s someone who will make you feel comfortable and if you are in his presence, he’s very mesmerising. You just feel like listening to him, he talks so much, he will engage you in a conversation so well, he’s so intelligent! I think he can see through people and their bull****. I think that’s what amazing about him.”

Aamir
“He is a very intelligent, strategic guy. I interacted with him during PK and realised that he’s very good at reaching out to people with what he wants them to think or wants to say or communicate. He’s very good with marketing. Aamir picks up good films and has added so much credibility to our cinema.”
