Karan Johar's Initial Doubts About Anushka Sharma's Career

Anushka Sharma, who has established herself as a successful actress in Bollywood without a Godfather, faced initial skepticism from Karan Johar. Before her debut in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi,' Johar expressed reservations about casting her. During the 18th MAMI Mumbai Film Festival in 2016, Johar revealed that upon seeing Anushka's photos, he questioned Aditya Chopra's decision to cast her, suggesting she wasn't suitable for the role. However, Anushka proved him wrong by delivering a successful debut and later worked with Johar in 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,' alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai.
