In this viral clip, which is from an interview Anushka Sharma gave back in 2018, the actor shared, 'I'm very upset they didn't give it to me. Because, I made my calculation you know, main calculate karke gayi thi ki dekho abhi Asin ne yeh film Tamil mein bhi kari hai, Telugu mein bhi kari hai aur Kannada mein bhi kari hai, maybe, that Ghajini film. She's done it in all languages. She's already an actress, for many years. Obviously usko nahi denge! Debut toh mera hua hai, main nayi hun, maine nayi film mein kaam kiya hai. I need the encouragement. So I was convinced I'm going to get it. But they gave it to her. I was very sad, I was very upset.'
Anushka went on to add that she clapped for Asin as she walked to receive her award. But later, a heartbroken Anushka 'cried like a child'. Currently, both the actors are focusing on their family life. Asin was last seen in the 2015 film All Is Well. Anushka, on the other hand, was last seen in Qala (2022) in a cameo.

Kajol's latest film, 'Maa', continued its theatrical run with a modest performance on its second Monday. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the film earned approximately Rs 0.57 crore on Day 11, taking its total collection to around Rs 32.17 crore. About the Film The film's plot is a mythological horror drama that marks a dramatic shift in Kajol's filmography. She plays Ambika, a mother who undergoes a terrifying spiritual transformation into a form inspired by Goddess Kali to save her daughter from a supernatural threat. Boxoffice journey so far The film opened strong with Rs 4.65 crore on Day 1 and maintained a healthy trend over its first weekend, collecting nearly Rs 17.65 crore in three days. Occupancy in cinemas On Monday, July 7, 2025, 'Maa' had an overall 11.66% occupancy in Hindi theatres. This means fewer people came to watch the film compared to the weekend, which is normal for weekdays. The movie still did better in big cities like Mumbai and Delhi.
