Bracing herself for her wrestler drama across Bhaijaan, actress Anushka Sharma has a lot to say about the three main Khans of the film industry. The 'PK' actress who has worked along Shah Rukh, Aamir and now Salman, is grateful to them for helping her reach a wider audience.

"For me as an actor, it is great to work with the Khans, who have every possible experience one can have in a film industry. They have been around for more than two decades. There is a lot one can observe and learn when you are working with them. Apart from that, I am very grateful that because of them my work is reaching to more people," the 28-year old said.

Anushka plays a Haryanvi wrestler in the film and if the trailer is any proof, she seems to have done her character pure justice. With a challenging role, comes a gruelling preparation, and portraying Aarfa was no child's play. "I was up for the challenge. I really liked my role. The only thing that I was worried was that I didn't have enough time to prepare for the role. For a film like this you would want three to four months of proper training. But I had less than six weeks to prepare. It was a very packed schedule for me. I don't know how this six months have passed but all in all I am very happy that people believe I am a wrestler."

She said she was trying to break the perception that female wrestlers are always bulky, with her role. "I knew I have a certain perception to break. I look a certain way and I always have been lean. During my research, I found that you don't have to be wide-framed. There are many who are toned. I realised that is what I have to work towards."
