One of the most popular anchors who turned actress Anasuya Bharadwaj, celebrated the onset of New Year 2026 with a superb social media post, which soon became the talk of the town. Anasuya, who is widely recognized for her news reading skills and then through the immensely popular ETV comedy show Jabardasth, has made her presence felt in both, the TV and the movie industry.

Another way she got popularity as an anchor, and could transition to films, was the performances in Kshanam, Rangasthalam and Pushpa. Over the years, the actors have managed to not only maintain a strong fan base for their glamour and screen presence but also continue to impress the audiences by taking up different roles varying from the lead actress to the character artist.

On top of that, the performances of Anasuya are never unnoticed, in fact, most of the times she is the main topic of the conversation or involved in the controversies. Social media is her daily thing and she has the courage to speak her mind on any issue. There have been times when her bold fashion choices and stunning selfies have attracted criticism but Anasuya has always met such critics with confidence indicating that their negativity will not overshadow her.

The other day, actor Sivaji’s comments at a film pre-release event ignited a serious debate in Tollywood about women’s dressing and body autonomy; Anasuya together with singer Chinmayi Sripada reacted meantime to the remarks. The issue attracted the Women’s Commission’s attention as well, hence the discussion continued even after Sivaji’s apology. Then it was Anasuya’s post, “This is our body… our choice,” which made even more people talk on social media, thus receiving both support and criticism.

In such circumstances, Anasuya started the year anew by posting photos of a poolside trip with her husband. The bathing suit pictures became an instant hit and attracted a lot of comments from the internet users. The views are still split but the incident put once more to the forefront Anasuya’s position on the issue and her non-conformity to the demands of society.

Reactions are still streaming in on social media as usual and the fans are very much interested in Anasuya’s next move regarding the most recent comments about her New Year post.
