Actor Shivaji’s recent comments on heroines’ dressing have sparked a major controversy in Tollywood, and while several actors and actresses have already reacted to the issue, actress Anasuya Bharadwaj has stood out with her firm and outspoken stance. Anasuya, who has already responded twice to Shivaji’s remarks, has now released another video on social media, strongly criticizing him. The video has gone viral and is currently a hot topic online.
Shivaji recently told the media that he did not make any comments targeting Anasuya and claimed that she unnecessarily involved herself in the controversy. This statement reportedly angered Anasuya. Responding sharply, she said, “Mr. Shivaji, I am saying this politely. I do not need your help at all. I know very well how to protect myself.” She further stated that she has the support of her husband and close friends and does not require any so-called ‘support’ from outsiders.
Anasuya responds strongly to the comments of Shivaji
“We are not children. We know our rights. Let us live our lives the way we choose,” Anasuya asserted. She added that if anyone genuinely feels that heroines are facing difficulties, they should instead educate young men about respecting women. Making comments about women’s clothing, she said, is completely inappropriate.
Anasuya also hinted that the controversy will not end here. She revealed that she plans to send legal notices not only to those who made inappropriate remarks about her but also to the “elder gentleman” who spoke during a press meet. She made it clear that she is prepared to pursue legal action if necessary.
Mixed Reactions in the Industry regarding Shivaji and Anasuya’s Controversy
The controversy has drawn mixed reactions within Tollywood. Actress Nidhhi Agerwal indirectly supported Anasuya through a social media post, stating, “Blaming the victims themselves is often mistaken for intelligence.” Meanwhile, Shivaji has already issued an apology to women, admitting that some of the words he used were inappropriate.
