Anu Aggarwal rose to fame with Mahesh Bhatt's Aashiqui in 1990. A musical blockbuster, the actress, right with her debut, created national hysteria and escalated to the skies of stardom. The tragic and traumatic accident in 1999 changed things forever for the actress. She had to step away from all the fame and fortune that came her way.

Speaking to Pinkvilla recently, she talked about her tryst with stardom, how she was treated for being an outsider in the Hindi film industry, and why she relates to Sushant Singh Rajput. Talking to the portal, when asked about being treated like an outsider, she said, "Always. The thing is I don't know what to say. The aftermath of success is something that I had to deal with. I was stuck with the aftermath of that." She added that she did not even have the time to cherish her success. "I could hardly ever become arrogant, I was wondering how do I handle people."
