Anushka Sharma Kolkata diaries was all about eat-pray-love

<p>Coming back to screen after three years, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma teased the first look of her upcoming film ‘Chakda Xpress’ as she is set to play the role of Jhulan Goswami, former captain of Indian national women’s cricket team team. But as some fans welcomed her back, many others did not feel too happy about Sharma’s casting for the role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As she plays Jhulan, Anushka Sharma will basically be playing a Bengali. Many pointed out that in the teaser, she doesn’t sound like a Bengali and that she has had to be darkened for the role which would not have been required had they cast an actor matching Jhulan’s skin colour.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-anushka-sharma-to-play-cricketer-jhulan-goswami-in-chakda-xpress-watch-video-442651">Chakda Xpress</a> teaser incorporates a line spoken in Bengali by Anushka, which did not get Twitter’s approval. “Kintu chinta koro na (But don’t you worry),” says Anushka as Jhulan, talking about her ambition of making it big in the world of cricket. Many call Anushka Sharma’s accent as “cringe”, “horrible” among other things.</p>

<p>One tweet read, “Nothing against <a data-ctorig="https://www.wionews.com/topics/anushka-sharma" data-cturl="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/topics/anushka-sharma&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjHqNuHnZ31AhXblFYBHSH3Cx0QFnoECAAQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw1emxJKhEzqanndKMv6BpJP" dir="ltr" href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/anushka-sharma" target="_blank"><b>Anushka Sharma</b></a>, she is a brilliant actress but as a Bengali I have issues with the weird accent.” Another person added, “There are some fine actresses in Bengali industry who could have played the role of Jhulan with elan. But, no, not happening as we still have to get a popular actor of Bollywood, put on layer of dusky makeup and still not look the part, not even the accent.”</p>

<p>“Man she isn't even looking half as similar as Jhulan Goswami. Neither in height nor in complexion. Even her Bengali accent is very cringe,” said a Twitter user while another one added, “The way she's telling ‘Kintu chinta koro na. Seems like the filmmakers thought Jhulan was a probasi Bangali (an expatriate Bengali).”</p>

Coming back to screen after three years, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma teased the first look of her upcoming film ‘Chakda Xpress’ as she is set to play the role of Jhulan Goswami, former captain of Indian national women’s cricket team team.

Coming back to screen after three years, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma teased the first look of her upcoming film ‘Chakda Xpress’ as she is set to play the role of Jhulan Goswami, former captain of Indian national women’s cricket team team. But as some fans welcomed her back, many others did not feel too happy about Sharma’s casting for the role. As she plays Jhulan, Anushka Sharma will basically be playing a Bengali. Many pointed out that in the teaser, she doesn’t sound like a Bengali and that she has had to be darkened for the role which would not have been required had they cast an actor matching Jhulan’s skin colour. The Chakda Xpress teaser incorporates a line spoken in Bengali by Anushka, which did not get Twitter’s approval. “Kintu chinta koro na (But don’t you worry),” says Anushka as Jhulan, talking about her ambition of making it big in the world of cricket. Many call Anushka Sharma’s accent as “cringe”, “horrible” among other things. One tweet read, “Nothing against Anushka Sharma, she is a brilliant actress but as a Bengali I have issues with the weird accent.” Another person added, “There are some fine actresses in Bengali industry who could have played the role of Jhulan with elan. But, no, not happening as we still have to get a popular actor of Bollywood, put on layer of dusky makeup and still not look the part, not even the accent.” “Man she isn't even looking half as similar as Jhulan Goswami. Neither in height nor in complexion. Even her Bengali accent is very cringe,” said a Twitter user while another one added, “The way she's telling ‘Kintu chinta koro na. Seems like the filmmakers thought Jhulan was a probasi Bangali (an expatriate Bengali).” Man she isn't even looking half as similar as Jhulan Goswami. Neither in height nor in complexion. Even her Bengali accent is very cringe. https://t.co/TArsrAGWJA — Hriday Shetty (@HridayShetty6) January 6, 2022 × The way she's telling Kintu Chinta Koro Na.. 😪 Seems like the filmmakers thought Jhulan was a Probasi Bangali... https://t.co/2A1FCquAvz — 𝑨𝒗𝒊𝒌❋🥀 (@Avik_GillStan) January 6, 2022 × “So sorry but I'm low-key offended by that accent as a Bengali.

<p>Talking about the film, Anushka, who will be seen playing the titular role, said, "It is a really special film because it is essentially a story of tremendous sacrifice. 'Chakda Xpress' will be an eye-opener into the world of women's cricket. At a time when Jhulan decided to become a cricketer and make her country proud on the global stage, it was very tough for women to even think of playing the sport. This film is a dramatic retelling of several instances that shaped her life and also women`s cricket."<br />
<br />
Anushka feels proud to receive an opportunity to play Jhulan on screen."From support systems to facilities, to having&nbsp;a stable income from playing the game, to even having a future in cricket - very little propelled women of India to take up cricket as a profession. Jhulan had a fighting and extremely uncertain cricketing career and she stayed motivated to make her country proud. She strived to change the stereotype that women can`t make a career out of playing cricket in India so that the next generation of girls had a better playing field," she added<br />
.<br />
Anushka shared the news with her Instagram followers as well. She posted the film's teaser in which we can see Anushka in Team India's jersey.<br />
<br />
Cricketer Jhulan can't wait for people to witness her story and cheer for women in cricket."When you represent India, that`s all that is on your mind. Tum desh ke liye khel rahe ho, apne liye nahi. 11 women playing to place Team India`s name in history. It doesn't matter if they said<em> ladkiyan cricket nahi khel sakti.</em> It doesn't matter if sometimes a man's accomplishments are placed above your own. It doesn`t matter if the stadiums are empty," Jhulan said.<br />
<br />
"When you pull up onto the pitch to bowl, all you see is the opponent holding the cricket bat and the stumps you need to knock out," she further shared.<br />

Anushka, the wife of cricketer Virat Kohli, was last seen in 'Zero' in 2018.&nbsp;</p>
