Actor, philanthropist, and a legend of Indian cinema
About Anushka Shetty
In the sweltering heat of Mahabaleshwar during the Baahubali shoot, Anushka Shetty insisted on performing her own stunts in full armor—refusing CGI doubles not out of ego, but because she believed Devi’s strength had to be *felt* in every frame. That commitment redefined female physicality in South Indian epic cinema: no green-screened grace, just grounded, sweat-slicked resilience. She co-founded the Anushka Shetty Foundation in 2014—not as a vanity project, but to fund rural midwifery training across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, directly responding to maternal mortality data from district health reports. Her yoga practice isn’t wellness branding; it’s a daily discipline she teaches free community classes in Hyderabad, rooted in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras rather than Instagram aesthetics. When she walked away from three major commercial offers after Rudhramadevi’s release, it wasn’t retirement—it was a deliberate pivot toward producing films with women directors from non-metro backgrounds, starting with the 2021 Kannada-language documentary 'Silent Fields' about agrarian women’s land rights.
