Anushka Sharma consumed alcohol to get into the character for Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola

Actors do a lot to add realistic touch in their films.Anushka Sharma, who is hogging limelight for her bucolic role in upcoming film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, also did something surprising to get into her role. The actress, featuring opposite chocolaty boy Imran Khan, had consumed alcohol to bring the real feel for a sequence in the film.

Anushka, who is sharing screen space opposite ace actor Pankaj Kapur, who is a teetotaler, was worried about how she would pull off acting a drunk, because she had no idea how one behaves under the influence of alcohol.

What happened next was quite surprising for all. According to source, "Anushka was fretting over the scene because Pankaj is a seasoned actor. Someone suggested that she get a drink just to know what it feels like, so she did. And while rehearsing with a unit member on location in Chandigarh, she ended up having half a bottle of vodka. She got a little high too, but didn't realise it and went off to her hotel to sleep. The next day, she had a bad hangover and slept till late into the afternoon."

The source adds, "Anushka was very apologetic when she met Vishal (director) and Pankaj the next day, but they think highly of her and were impressed by her dedication. In fact, the entire unit was impressed that she went to such lengths for one scene."
