She won many hearts with her brilliant performance as Princess Devasena in Baahubali and her fans will soon be seeing her in a totally different avatar in the supernatural thriller Bhaagamathie. In the first poster of the film that was released, Anushka looks completely different. She looks ungroomed as opposed to her princess avatar in Baahubali. Did you know that she is said to have shed about 18 kilos for Bhaagamathie?
Well, we bet you don’t know many facts about this extremely talented actress. Read on to know more:
Did you know that she renamed herself Anushka much later in life as a stage name? Her actual name is Sweety!
Before becoming a model and actress, Anushka was a yoga instructor and has trained under Bharat Thakur.
She is very dedicated as an actress and like we mentioned earlier, she not only shed 18 kilos for her role in Bhaagamathie, but she also gained 20 kilos for a movie called size zero something that very few actresses would dare to do, most would chose the easy way out and wear a bodysuit instead. Her double role in the female-centric film, Arundati is also worth mentioning.
She’s also the only actress to have worked twice with Rajamouli. Rajamouli’s Vikramrkadu was her most successful films and there’s been no looking back for her since then.
The interesting part is that she hates giving auditions and she was even rejected for Baahubali after her first audition?
However, that’s all history now and she’s not only carved a niche for herself but is said to be one of the highest paid actresses in the industry.
HFT wishes Anushka a Very Happy Birthday!
