Anasuya Bharadwaj, known for her dynamic presence on both television and the big screen, is also a dominant force on social media. With over 8 million followers across platforms, she’s not just a celebrated actress and anchor but also one of the most-followed Telugu-speaking celebrities in the digital space.
Anasuya’s influence online is undeniable. Here’s a snapshot of her impressive social media numbers:
. Facebook – 4.9 million followers
. Instagram – 1.6 million followers
. X (formerly Twitter) – 1.2 million followers
Whether it’s glamorous photoshoots, fitness updates, or outspoken opinions, Anasuya continues to captivate audiences across platforms.
With fame, however, comes an inevitable downside — relentless trolling and online abuse. Over the years, Anasuya has often found herself at the receiving end of harsh criticism, mostly for her bold persona, outspoken nature, and strong political opinions.
In a recent interview, the actress made headlines when she revealed that she has blocked nearly 30 lakh (3 million) users across her social media handles. “I do it for my peace of mind,” she said candidly, reinforcing her belief that blocking trolls is not pettiness, but self-care.
Anasuya has never shied away from expressing her thoughts, even when it sparks controversy. Over the years, she has been involved in several online spats and trolling episodes:
Comments on Vijay Deverakonda: Anasuya openly criticized actor Vijay Deverakonda for promoting cuss words during Arjun Reddy promotions. This triggered massive backlash from his fans, some of whom resorted to abusive comments. Anasuya stood firm, reiterating her right to call out toxic trends in cinema.
Political Commentary: She has occasionally posted politically tinged tweets, which attracted both praise and criticism. Her refusal to align with any one political ideology has made her a target for various groups.
Trolling for Personal Photos: Anasuya has also been trolled for her fashion choices and photoshoots. She’s frequently accused of trying too hard to stay “relevant” — to which she often responds fiercely, defending her autonomy and right to express herself.
Public Clapbacks: From posting screenshots of vulgar comments to publicly slamming misogyny, Anasuya has taken an assertive stand against online hate. She believes that silence encourages abuse, and her sharp, unapologetic responses have drawn both admiration and controversy.
While many celebrities choose to ignore the hate, Anasuya takes a more direct approach: block, report, and move on. Her firm stance has now become her brand — unapologetic, empowered, and fiercely self-assured.
With trolls out of her way and confidence as her compass, Anasuya continues to shine both online and off, proving that in a digital age full of noise, self-care sometimes looks like hitting “Block.”
