Anasuya targets Sivaji

Anasuya is known for her impactful and powerful performances and also for her bold take on various issues. She recently shared pictures of her in saree following which some commented that she started wearing sarees because of Shivaji.

Following this, Anasuya reacted strongly with the following message. “Wrong wrong! The heading should say Anasuya is wearing a saree created by Shivaji, right, because before that we were not wearing sarees.”

It is known that during the promotions of the film Dhandoraa, Sivaji came up with controversial comments. He said “I want to advise heroines not to wear whatever they feel like when going out, because you will bear the consequences of it.”

He continued “Em anukovoddu amma heroines andaru. Miru anukunna naku poyedi em le, laagi peekutamu manam. Adi vere vishyam. (Don’t mind me saying this, heroines. Even if you mind, I don’t care because I’ll slap back).”

He added “Saamaanu kanabade dantlo em undadu amma (Clothes that show your assets don’t do anything),” and said “Whenever you wear revealing clothes, people will smile. But they’ll think you’re a wretched woman. And if they say it out loud, you’ll bring up freedom for women,” he said, adding, “There should be a limit to glamour. Your freedom is a privilege, don’t lose it.”

This resulted in a huge controversy following which  he was forced to apologise. Anasuya made her presence felt in films like Razakar, Vimanam, Rangamarthanda and Darja.
