To get praised in Salman Khan film special, says Anushka Sharma

Actress Anushka Sharma is happy that her character Arfa managed to stand on her own in “Sultan” despite the larger-than-life persona of superstar Salman Khan.

“Getting Salman Khan’s fans to tell you, ‘I am your fan too’ is a big deal because they are the most loyal fans. All the three Khans have such loyal fans. I feel very special.

“I think you want your work to be noticed and appreciated and for it to happen in a film like Sultan and with a megastar like Salman, I feel very happy,” the actress told PTI.
