Anushka, who is the daughter of Colonel Ajay Kumar Sharma said, "I think one thing that my parents did very naturally, and I think it is because I come from an Army background we lived a very disciplined life. Not like how you imagine a military home to be, naturally the routines."

"For example, if we were very finicky on the table, we didn't want to eat something, our dad used to not shout at us, nothing, he used to say, 'please leave, but when you are hungry that's what you going to get'. And I think these things are important. We valued what our parents were doing for us. It really has made me appreciate things a lot," added Anushka.
