Anasuya Bharadwaj says Vijay Deverakonda’s publicist paid trolls to abuse her

 Actress  Anasuya Bharadwaj, was last seen in Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise. She has been on cold war with actor Vijay Deverakonda. Now, the actress has made startling revelations about Vijay Deverakonda’s publicist. She has alleged that he has paid trolls to abuse her.

According to Anasuya, she used to be friends with Vijay, she claimed that she came to know from someone in Vijay’s team that his publicist has paid trolls to abuse her.

Anasuya told India Today, “Vijay and I were friendly long back and there was no problem. When Arjun Reddy (2017) released, the cuss words were muted in the film. Vijay had visited a theatre and when the muted cuss words came on screen, he told his fans to mouth the dialogues and they were shouting these cuss words. Vijay played a character who was abusive, which is fine, but in real life, why would you encourage the audience to say such words? Being a mother, all this abusive language really upset me. In fact, I had spoken to Vijay about this, saying please don’t encourage such things in real life,”

 

She added that online abuse of women had increased post the release of Arjun Reddy. She also said she was depressed following the online abuse but she managed to move on. “In 2019, Vijay Deverakonda’s father was producing Meeku Maathrame Cheptha and they offered me a role. Things were fine. It was after that someone from Vijay’s team told me that his publicist had paid trolls to abuse me. I was shocked. If the publicist had paid trolls, then Vijay would have been aware, right? I am sure they would not do something like this without his knowledge, right?” she added.

On the work front, Anasuya will be next seen in the forthcoming Telugu-Tamil bilingual film, Vimanam. She stars as a sex worker. She is also a part of the upcoming instalment of the Pushpa franchise.
