In an official statement released by Yash Raj Films Anushka Sharma says, "It is honour enough to work with Aditya Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan and the entire Yash Raj Films team. To win any kind of recognition on top of that is like an icing on the cake. I hope that my subsequent work will live up to expectations after the stellar launch Yash Raj Films has given me."

Post this the production house is hoping RNBDJ has an equally successful run in the upcoming awards season.

Meet Anushka Sharma ,the love of SRK's life

At 19, she's young. Fresh. And very hot.

Here's introducing Anushka Sharma, the model-turned-actress, who's been paired opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Aditya Chopra's directorial effort, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Glimpses of the latest star from Yash Raj stable.

From being showstopper for fashion designer Wendell Rodrick to Bollywood's potential A-lister, Anushka is heading in the right direction. Considering she has been fiercely guarded against media glare, SRK's demure leading lady, as desired, is creating much curiosity.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, which hits the screens on December 12, takes a look at how true love can bring out the colours of the seemingly mundane and find its path amidst apparent differences of age and attitude. It celebrates life through the emotion of love and expression of dance. Speaking of which, the promos of its ditty, Dance pe chance are quite a pleasant surprise. Not so much for its beat (Salim-Sulaiman) as for Anushka's smooth moves and an agile body language
