Anushka Sharma's maiden production NH10, which also stars her in a pivotal role, hits theatres today. Since it's a road trip film, we decided to test the actress' driving skills and flair for adventure. Read on to know how she fared...

GEARING UP
At what age did you get your driving license?

I was 18.

What was the first car you drove?
Maruti Swift, I still have it.

Who taught you to drive?
My father. I went to learning school too, but it was not helpful at all. In fact it was terrible, I think they do something with the car. After that, my father taught me. He taught me how to start your car when you are on a slope without going back, which is why my control is very good. I am a very good driver because of that.

What is the car you drive now?
Range Rover.

Your dream car?
It was the Range Rover and I have it. I am not crazy about cars.

Sedans or SUVs?
SUVs. I have motion sickness and feel feel sick in sedans.

Your most memorable road trip?
Three-and-a-half years ago, my friends and I travelled from London to St Isles. It was a last-minute, completely unplanned decision. We knew somebody who rents cars, so we booked one and stayed at a Bed 'N' Breakfast because we hadn't booked any hotels.

Three celebrities you would like to take along on a road trip.
Kanye West, Tom Hardy and Dimple Kapadia. Dimple was so much fun in Finding Fanny, I will enjoy the trip with her. Tom is damn hot and Kanye because he can do things.

You prefer to drive on a road trip?
I would rather be driven. I like to drive in a place where there is no bad traffic.

Five things a girl must always carry with her on a road trip.
Cell phone, pepper spray, sun block, sun glasses and cash.

Road trip better with mixed group or all girls?
Mixed group.

What is the best car for a road trip?
Range Rover.

The kind of clothes I would pack for a road trip...
Pyjamas, track pants and stuff like that.

Three road trip films I recommend..
Only one and that is NH10.

If I could only take one person along on a road trip it would be...
The driver because he will drive (laughs). I will take my friend Ameera - she will be useless because she can't drive, but she is fun.

Road trip better with friends or lover?
A lover who is a friend!
