“I don’t know. You tell me. Having given three hits back-to-back in three years I wonder why there is not as much hype about me as them,” she said.
Sharma added that she thinks the other leading ladies are less famous for their films than they are for their off-screen activities.
“I am glad that I am known for my talent and not for my clothes or controversies,” she told the paper.
