The actress shared how she defended herself from the evil hands of the casting couch. In a report published on Tollywood.net, Anushka said, 'I admit that it exists in Tollywood, but I never had to face it because I was straightforward.'

Anushka said that her open and outspoken nature/attitude had helped anyone to exploit her. "I have always been straightforward and frank. The actress should determine whether they want the easy ways and less fame or harder ways and sustain for a long in the industry", said Anushka.
