Anushka Sharma Has a Secret. It Has Something to Do With 3 Idiots

Anushka Sharma Has a Secret. It Has Something to Do With 3 Idiots

Anushka co-stars with Aamir Khan in PK

In 2007, Anushka Sharma auditioned for a film. The film was, wait for it...wait for it - drum roll - 3 Idiots, starring PK actor Aamir Khan and directed by PK director Rajkumar Hirani.

Surprised? So was Raju Hirani. "Anushka auditioned for 3 Idiots? No no no, Anushka never auditioned for 3 Idiots," he insisted to camera - until, he saw Anushka's audition tape.

The audition, in which Anushka spouts actress Gracy Singh's monologue from Munnabhai MBBS (also directed by Raju Hirani), left Aamir and Raju by turns incredulous and entertained.

"Chamatkar" and "kya baat hai" they say, with Aamir asking Raju why he rejected Anushka. In Rajkumar Hirani's defence, he doesn't seem to have seen Anushka's audition - indeed, he didn't even know she HAD auditioned.

Anushka made her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008, a year after the 3 Idiots audition. 3 Idiots released in 2009, broke several box office records and was the highest earning Bollywood film worldwide until SRK's Chennai Express came along last year.
