Anushka had a dream debut in 'Super' (2005) as the leading lady of Akkineni Nagarjuna. Success evaded this Mangalorean beauty until 2008. Following the release of 'Arundhati', Anushka Shetty became a rage in Andhra Pradesh.
This leggy siren is, now, one of the top-earning actresses of Tollywood.
On the eve of her latest release 'Mahesh Khaleja', we present to you some rare snaps of Anushka.
After graduating in Computer Applications (BCA), Anushka wanted to get into the fitness world, and thus became a yoga instructor.
She met Puri Jagannath through a common friend, who was looking for a new face for 'Super'. She signed her first film for Rs. 20 Lakh.
Her third film, 'Vikramarkudu' (2006), opposite Ravi Teja was a huge hit.
Anushka also did an item number in the Chiranjeevi-starrer, 'Stalin' (2006).
In 2006, she debuted in Tamil with 'Rendu', opposite Madhavan.
In 2008, she had four releases in Telugu; 'Baladur', 'Souryam', 'Chintakaala Ravi' and 'King'. Off these, the last mentioned was the only hit, in which Anushka appeared in an item number.
Her parents are in the hospitality industry; one of her brothers is a dentist and the other, an engineer.
She learnt yoga from the famous guru, Bharat Thakur, in Mumbai.
"I can be loud and vivacious and yet be demure. In fact, when people meet me for the first time they think I am arrogant," says Anushka.
For the Tulu speaking Shetty girl, learning Telugu was not very difficult. Her knowledge of Kannada helped her a lot.
Anushka enjoys reading, music, loves nature and travelling. She is also very fond of children and pets.
She has a rather curious hobby of collecting paper cuttings on natural disasters.
Her favourite Bollywood actors are Hritik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan. It's Mahesh Babu, Gopichand and NTR, in Tollywood.
Her favourite actresses are Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Rani Mukherjee, Sushmita Sen in Bollywood; Soundarya, Simran, Jyothika in south India.
