Actor Anushka Sharma, who made her debut in Bollywood with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), once responded to a question about not having "stirred up the industry" like Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor. In an interview with Bangalore Mirror, Anushka said she was glad to be known for her “talent and not for my clothes or controversies”. After Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Anushka starred in Badmaash Company and Band Baaja Baaraat. Both of them released in 2010. 

Anushka said she delivered ‘three hits back-to-back’

Anushka had said, "I don't know. You tell me. Having given three hits back-to-back in three years, I wonder why there is not as much hype about me as them. (Pauses) Actually, I am glad that I am known for my talent and not for my clothes or controversies." While Deepika Padukone made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with Om Shanti Om, Sonam Kapoor's first film was Saawariya. It released in the same year.
