The 28-year-old actress, who was addressing a session at the ongoing 18th Jio MAMI Mumbai International Film Festival, said she prefers to be on a safer side rather than getting hurt.
"I am very practical. It's not like I will fall in love with someone standing far away. If I know the guy is not interested I don't fall in love. This is my safety. You can't go on telling 'I am in love'," Anushka said.
The actress will next be seen in filmmaker Karan Johar's romantic drama "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil". The movie also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
"The budget of his clothes is high. It helped me perform better. As an actor I am careless with the way I look on screen. Since you work with Karan your hair, make up and costumes is all taken care of and I just had to focus on getting my character right. It just worked me."
"Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" release on October 28.
