Anupria Goenka said it was heartbreaking for her to lose Salman Khan's Sultan to Anushka Sharma. Actress Anupria Goenka has been a part of popular films like Tiger Zinda Hai, Padmaavat and War. She was also seen in successful OTT projects like Sacred Games, Abhay and Criminal Justice.
However, one project she missed out on was Salman Khan’s Sultan. Although she gave more than 10 auditions for the part, she lost it to Anushka Sharma. In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan, she opened up about not being a typical Yash Raj Films (YRF) heroine.
Anupria said, “Maine Sultan ke liye audition kiya tha, main part. Tab voh log naye logo ko dhoond rahe the. Mere kuch 11-12 test hue the.
.. pehle ek audition hua tha, phir doosra audition hua, phir there was a music video test, phir there was a dance test with Vaibhavi (Merchant), and then there were readings with Ali (Abbas Zafar).
" She added, “That one-month process was beautiful. Thankfully mere liye voh poora process ek mahine ka tha. Agar voh 6-7 mahine ya ek saal chalta toh insaan anxiety main hi reh jaata na.
.. Jab tak main Ali se nahi mili, mujhe pata bhi nahi tha ki Sultan ki baat ho rahi hai because YRF main they don’t give you the actual script.
They give you some other script and they make you audition on that...
It was only when I met Ali and he kept referring to ‘Mr Khan’, then I realised ki this is for Sultan and the main part." “The whole process was very heartbreaking when I didn’t get it, of course..
. Ek toh I’m dusky, which I’m very proud of. I love being dusky.
But I’m not a typical YRF heroine, right? I do not have the most shapely legs...
," the actress mentioned. Sultan proved to be a blockbuster at the box office, and Anushka Sharma’s role as a wrestler was appreciated by the audience..
