As Bittoo Sharma, Anushka redefined the Delhi-girl archetype. Her romantic dynamic with Shruti (played by Ranveer Singh) was groundbreaking because it treated ambition as the ultimate aphrodisiac. Their romance didn’t blossom despite their business partnership; it was born out of it. The heartbreak in the film stems from a breach of professional trust rather than a traditional romantic misunderstanding, showcasing a relationship where self-respect triumphed over fleeting passion.

After her breakup with Virat, Anushka was rumored to have dated actor Ranbir Kapoor. The two were spotted together on several occasions, and sources close to them confirmed that they were indeed dating. However, their relationship reportedly ended in 2018.
