Anushka Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal did not receive great reviews from the audience and critics as well. However, Anushka feels that all films cannot do well at the box office and she has accepted the average response to her films.

During an interview with a leading channel, when Anushka was asked for her response on Jab Harry Met Sejal’s failure, she said, ‘’You want all films to do well, you want people to like your film. But that’s not the case every time. It’s something that you need to be aware of and mindful of and I am. I don’t have unrealistic expectations of myself as an actor.’’

‘’It’s the audience who decides the fate of your films and I respect that. And every time you learn something new from all your films. I completely own my success. I have many successful films in my credit. So, I have accepted the average response to my films’’, she added.

Earlier, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali had said, ‘’I have not made this film for praise. You know I would like to be the director who can make different kinds of films. This one is made to reach the maximum number of people. Not to just get praise for myself. I have been a veteran at this. When Tamasha released, a lot of people praised the film but the film was not reaching the audience.’’

Shah Rukh, who worked with Imtiaz for the first time, echoed his director, saying the magic of Jab Harry Met Sejal will take time to latch onto people. “I have not seen Imtiaz Ali’s previous work. I have always believed the film should go beyond the subject and create some magic. I also believe people come with pre-conceived notion that they have seen already,” the 51-year-old actor said.

The film revolves around the two characters and how Sejal (Anushka) bumps into tour-guide Harry (Shah Rukh) and together they set off visiting the exact same spots that she and her family visited -- in the hope of finding her lost engagement ring.

On the work front, Anushka will next be seen in her movie Pari. She will also be seen in the Aanand L Rai movie alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.
