When Anushka Sharma asked Rahul Dravid to return her pen after an autograph

She’s one of India’s top movie stars and is dating the Indian test skipper, but there was a time when Anushka Sharma sought an autograph. Only just not for herself. Speaking at a talk show in Mumbai recently, the actress said that since her brother Karnesh was a big Rahul Dravid fan, she found herself approaching the batsman for an autograph. And no, she wasn’t star struck.

“When Rahul Dravid came for a shoot at Chinnaswamy Stadium, we went to see him. I took my brother’s book and pen and went up to Dravid for his autograph, since he was feeling shy. I was never star struck,” she said.“Dravid took my pen and started signing other autographs too. After waiting for him to return my pen, I walked up to him and asked for it back,” she added, with a laugh.

Addressing the trolling that often comes her way – especial ly perhaps because the attention that her relationship with Virat Kohli gets — Sharma said, “Sometimes I wish I was never a part of this industry that puts me into the spotlight. Dealing with Winners of 27 world series, they have got the wage bill to the hatred is tough.”.
