Anushka Sharma is among the top actresses in Bollywood, and she is married to Virat Kohli, who is among the top cricketers in the world. The power couple has amassed immense fame and money via their respective careers. However, Anushka believes that fame and money cannot make a person happy, as desire is the cause of all suffering.
Anushka Sharma once said, 鈥淛im Carrey said a very nice thing. I might not quote him correctly, but he said that I want everyone in this world to experience fame and money, to know that that is not what life is about. So, I am a very true believer of that.鈥
Looks like this is the context for the viral Anushka quote on fame and money

She added, 鈥淚 can tell you 100 per cent that life is not about that. I know a lot of people might read this and comment, 鈥楤ada bol rahi hai, hai toh toh bol rahi hai.鈥 Fair enough. You鈥檙e right, hai toh bol rahi hai. Jab tak you don鈥檛 stand in those shoes, you will not be able to tell. I have stood in both, so I can say that it is not what life is about.鈥
Anushka mentioned, 鈥淒esires are actually what make you miserable in life. You know, so that鈥檚 what I try to cut out from my life. I feel like I鈥檓 just鈥 at that time, I didn鈥檛 know that because I was much younger. Now I know it, so I鈥檓 much happier.鈥
The actress鈥檚 video has resurfaced on Reddit, and as she predicted, netizens have responded by dropping similar comments. One person wrote, 鈥淔ame part I agree, but money? 75% of my problems will be solved with money. The rest can also be solved with money with a proper shrink.鈥 They added, 鈥 If I don鈥檛 have to worry about how I am going to pay the EMIs, family debt, take care of family and myself鈥 I am sure half of my mental health and physical health issues will be solved there.鈥
One comment read, 鈥淎ny person who has to worry about money, no matter how financially comfortable they are, will never go around telling people that money doesn鈥檛 matter.鈥 Someone mentioned, 鈥淗er comment reads as tone-deaf because she can make crores out of an Instagram post in 5 minutes, while people struggle to pay rent.鈥
However, some also defended Anushka. One comment read, 鈥淲hat Anushka or Jim Carrey said is not entirely wrong. Money is a necessity, and it makes your life a lot鈥 LOT comfortable but not necessarily happy. You are equating a comfortable life with a happy life.鈥 Someone else wrote, 鈥淢oney is absolutely essential, but beyond a certain point, the marginal utility is limited. I think that鈥檚 what she is saying.鈥 One person wrote, 鈥淭he person is literally saying that after you reach a certain point of comfortable wealth or fame, you might experience that life is not just about money and fame.鈥
Meanwhile, on the work front, Anushka Sharma has been away from the screens for years now. Her last appearance was a cameo in Qala. Anushka is yet to announce her upcoming projects.
