Anushka Sharma redefined elegance by donning a beautiful green sari at Priyadarshani Awards. The 30-year-old was a head turner at the event which was graced by the political bigwigs such as Nitin Gadkari and Piyush Goyal. Anushka we must add is one actor who pulls off both western wears and ethnic attires with elan. On this occasion, Anushka used the hue, minimal makeup and select accessories to her advantage to look the way only she can!

PK, NH 10, Philuari, Pari, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, films are many that stand a testimony to her talent. In fact, Sharma cares to craft good films for which she started her own production as well at such a young age. We congratulate Anusha on this rare feat. This is truly well deserved!

Expressing her gratitude on receiving the revered Smita Patil Memorial Award, Anushka Sharma said, "I feel humbled to have been honoured by Priyadarshni Academy with the Smita Patil Memorial award this year. Smitaji is a true inspiration for every actor of my generation. Her pioneering effort in the upliftment of parallel cinema movement in India stands out as a beacon of hope for actors like myself and I in my small way will always strive to take her dream forward by being part of films that are content rich. This year also embarks me completing a decade."
