Actress Anushka Sharma is currently focusing on her new role as a mother and a wife after reigning over the screens for years.

Anushka was last seen on the silver screen in Zero with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, which didn't work at the box-office. According to reports, after that, she didn't sign any Bollywood project.

Following the birth of her child earlier this year, an old video of the actress has been making rounds on social media where she stated that she would quit acting when she embraces motherhood.

Anushka was asked if marriage was important to her, to which she said: "Very important. I want to be married. I want to have kids, and when I am married, I probably do not want to be working." (sic)

However, she works on producing web series and movies under her home production banner Clean Slate Films with her brother Karnesh Sharma.

Reports suggested that she quit acting and focus more on creating good content than acting in films.

Last year, news came in that Anushka will accompany her husband to England. A source was earlier quoted as saying by DNA, "While Anushka will be travelling to England to be the perfect pillar of strength to Virat, she might not go to the stadium with him. In fact, she wants to go separately to watch the matches and cheer the loudest for Virat. On match days, Anushka plans to hire her own car and bear all the costs of her visit to the stadium. Of course, she has a heartwarming reason behind this decision."

Anushka is currently in the UK, supporting Virat as he and his squad compete against New Zealand at the World Test Championship (WTC). A source close to Anushka and her production house has rubbished Anushka's report of leaving Bollywood anytime soon.
