But I’m more than a rat in a rat race. I want to enjoy my life. I enjoy acting in films. I enjoy being in a room full of creative people, discussing ideas, coming up with ways of doing a scene, and thinking about how the audience will react to it. It’s all so pleasurable; I never want to give it up,” Saying that ‘striking the balance of work-life’ is difficult for women, Anushka revealed that people do not understand the ‘health and emotions of working women’.
