We know Anushka Sharma got her big Bollywood break opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' in 2008. But did you know the actress had auditioned for Rajkumar Hirani's '3 Idiots' at the age of 19? On her 27th birthday today, we take a nostalgic trip to her early days in Bollywood and present you her audition video for '3 Idiots'.

As the video reveals, Anushka delivered a monologue from 'Munnabhai MBBS' during her audition for '3 Idiots'. It is interesting to note that Rajkumar Hirani, director of '3 Idiots', did not know Anushka had auditioned for the film, and was taken by surprise when she showed him the clip. Aamir Khan's reaction to her audition clip is hilarious and worth a watch too!


Anushka, who was last seen in her production venture 'NH10', is now gearing up for the release of 'Bombay Velvet' and 'Dil Dhadakne Do'.

As Anushka Sharma turns 27 today, we celebrate her birthday by revisiting her Bollywood journey from a simpleton to a sexy siren!
