Anushka Sharma plans to shoot "one film a year" as she concentrates on her family life.

The 35-year-old actress - who has a two-year-old daughter called Vamika with cricket star Virat Kohli - has revealed that she doesn't intend to do "too many films" in the coming years.

Speaking at a promotional event in Bengaluru, Anushka told IndianExpress.com: "I know my daughter is at this age that she needs a lot more of my time.

"Virat is a great father. He is very involved as a parent. But she is at that age, we have also seen that, she just needs me more. We recognise that. So, I have taken those steps."

Anushka still loves the challenge of acting. However, her family has become her number one priority in recent years.

The actress - who married Virat in 2017 - said: "I enjoy acting but I don’t want to do too many films as much as I was doing earlier. I want to do one film a year, enjoy the process of acting which is what I like and balance my life out like the way I am, give time to family."

What's more, Anushka isn't worried about proving a point to any of her critics.

The actress - who recently attended the Cannes Film Festival - said: "The way I am leading my life makes me happy and ultimately I don’t want to prove a point to anybody whether as an actor, as a public figure, as a mother, as a wife. I just want to do things that make me happy and make sense to me."I do things which feel right to me. I don’t look for validation outside of myself anymore."
