Anushka Sharma has experienced fame and money being one of the leading actresses of Hindi cinema. She married Virat Kohli , whose popularity holds no bounds. Yet, in a viral clip, Anushka can be heard saying that life isn't just about fame and money. This old video seems to be holding true for Anushka even now, as one sees her slowly inclining towards spirituality. One often sees Virat and Anushka visiting Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan and indulging in chanting the name of the Lord. Now in this throwback video which has gone viral now, Anushka can be seen saying that fame is an illusion. She said, " Jim 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.' Anushka added further, "I can tell you 100 per cent that life is not about that. I know a lot of people might read this and comment, 'Bada bol rahi hai, hai toh toh bol rahi hai.' Fair enough. You're right, hai toh bol rahi hai. Jab tak you don't 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.' She added, "Desires are actually what make you miserable in life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When the Camera Clicked at the Worst Possible Time Read More Undo You know, so that's what I try to cut out from my life. I feel like I'm just… at that time, I didn't know that because I was much younger. Now I know it, so I'm much happier.' This clearly shows now in Anushka's actions as she's doing lesser movies, paying attention to her children and moving towards bhakti (devotion towards the Lord). This viral video divided the internet as many disagree with Anushka and some agree. A user said, "Fame 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.' Another person wrote, "Any person who has to worry about money, no matter how financially comfortable they are, will never go around telling people that money doesn't matter.' A person commented, "What Anushka or Jim Carrey said is not entirely wrong. Money is a necessity, and it makes your life a lot… A LOT comfortable but not necessarily happy. You are equating a comfortable life with a happy life.' Another wrote while agreeing to Anushka, "Money is absolutely essential, but beyond a certain point, the marginal utility is limited. I think that's what she is saying.'
