Being an outsider proved an advantage for me: Anushka Sharma

She had a dream debut in Bollywood opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, but her ride in showbiz has been bumpy with several highs and lows. Actress Anushka Sharma — who earlier this month completed eight years since she walked into the glitzy Hindi movie world — says having no strings attached to film families, worked in her favour.

The actress said she started her journey with a clean slate — without any “preconceived notions about the way you have to do things”.


“Being an outsider turned out to be an advantage for me. I didn’t come with any preconceived notions about the way you have to do things, so I just been exactly the way I am at home,” Anushka told IANS in an email interview from Mumbai.

Panvel railway station to get pre-paid taxi, auto services

Navi Mumbai: The Panvel railway station will soon get a pre-paid taxi and auto facility. The RTO Panvel office had sent a proposal to provide a 10x10ft land for an office for the services. Panvel stationmanager D K Gupta said, "The service could not be started due to a railway policy (that allows such service at A-1 class railway stations). The policy has changed now."

Deputy RTO Panvel Anand Patil said they had asked for a 10x10ft land for an office but the railways have agreed for a 6x10ft land. The proposal will hopefully be cleared with the policy change, Patil added.

"The pre-paid taxis and autorickshaws will have a GPS system. Those availing the service will tender the charges and Rs 10 extra before boarding the vehicle. The service is exactly like at the airport," the deputy RTO said.

The office will be maintained by the taxi and autorickshaw unions. —Umesh K Parida
