Anushka Shetty Skips Baahubali Celebrations, Leaves Fans Concerned

Baahubali: The Beginning remains a landmark film that redefined Telugu cinema and brought Indian cinema global acclaim. As the epic celebrated its tenth anniversary, the cast and crew reunited last night to commemorate the occasion. However, the absence of leading actresses Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia did not go unnoticed—and left many fans disappointed.

Anushka Shetty, who played the iconic role of Devasena, enjoys a massive following across languages, especially for her on-screen pairing with Prabhas. Fans eagerly anticipated seeing them share the stage once again, and many took to social media to express their disappointment, tagging the actress and questioning her absence.

Adding to the concern is Anushka’s low public profile in recent times. Her latest film, Ghaati, which was scheduled for release today, was postponed at the last minute—further dampening fans' hopes of seeing her in promotions or media events.

Speculation is rife about why Anushka has been keeping away from public appearances and industry celebrations. While some believe she might be avoiding the spotlight due to ongoing criticism over weight management issues—a struggle she has candidly spoken about in the past—others point out that she has continued to deliver hits even after those challenges.

Despite her relative absence, Anushka remains one of the few actresses in the industry with a deeply loyal fan base. Many hope she will soon step back into the limelight, if only to reassure her fans who have supported her unwaveringly over the years.
