Anushka Shetty, the lady Superstar in South Indian Film Industry celebrates her 34th birthday today on 7 November 2015. Wishes poured in for the ‘Rudramadevi’ actress from her friends, fans and celebrities from movie industry on her special day through social media platforms.

Anushka, who started her career as a yoga instructor, began her acting career with the Telugu film “Super,” sharing screen space with Nagarjuna in 2005. With her svelte figure and tall frame, Anushka Shetty has captured the imaginations of millions of cine-lovers.  This doe-eyed beauty is known for her hard-work and passion towards acting.

Her performances in the films like Arundhati, Vedam, Baahubali: The Beginning, Rudramadevi have been appreciated by the audience. She literally rose as the most demanded heroines in South Indian Film Industry. For her latest film, Size Zero, which is ready to hit theaters in just a few days, the actress even gained as much as 20 kgs in order to portray the life of a plus sized girl. The film’s first looks and trailer were released recently and the actress has been lauded by her fans and co-stars, for taking up such a challenging role.

 On the occasion of 34th birthday of Anushka, we take the privilege to wish her a splendid birthday and bring you a quick look at some of the mind-blowing performances of Anushka‘s career.

1. Super

Anushka’s maiden big screen outing, ‘Super’ saw her paired opposite none other than Telugu superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna. A big hit at the box office, the film helped her earn a Filmfare nomination.

2. Arundathi

Back in 2009, when Anushka had established as one of the hottest actresses in Tollywood, she took a gamble with horror fantasy film Arundhati. The movie is perhaps best remembered for the actress’ intense performance and gripping dialogue delivery. It is also regarded as the film that catapulted Anushka to stardom. A runaway hit at the box office, the psychological-thriller also managed to bag several Nandi awards.

3. Billa

After winning accolades from the audience with Arundathi, she immediately sported a glam avatar in ‘Billa’, which is a bold attempt at one hand. On the other hand, when actresses were shy to sport bikini few years ago, Anushka was bold enough to flaunt her curves in the black bikini in the movie.

4. Vedam

One of the best things about Anushka is that she has the courage to do things which other actresses might hesitate to indulge in. Touted as a gripping drama, ‘Vedam’ saw Anushka challenge her limits as a performer and essay the role of a sex worker (prostitute).  Though the film is multi-starrer, she stole the credits from other actors with her acting. Find all Anushka movies and videos on vidmate apk and vidmate app

5. Baahubali: The Beginning

After experimenting with Vedam, Anushka Shetty went to play a  imprisoned queen in SS Rajamouli’s grand and magnificent movie, ‘Baahubali: The beginning’ and stunned the fans with her acting prowess. Despite getting limited screen time, the actress managed to make an impact thanks to her subdued yet intense body language. In Baahubali 2, her role is said to be bigger than that of Prabhas’s.

6. Rudramadevi

After delivering a female oriented hit flick with Arundhati, Anushka Shetty had donned the warrior queen avatar for Rudhramadevi. Directed by Gunasekhar, ‘Rudhramadevi’ revolves around the life of a warrior-queen from Kakatiya dynasty. Anushka seemed to have put in a lot of effort learning to sword fight and ride horses for the movie. Anushka looked every bit as the determined warrior queen, pulling off some mesmerizing fight scenes in the movie.

7. Size Zero

In just a few days from now Anushka Shetty’s latest big screen outing ‘Size Zero’ will arrive in theaters. No heroine in recent times has had the courage and the audacity to gain a lot of weight for a role, but Anushka is no normal heroine. From being a slim and boasting an hour glass figure, Anushka surprised everyone with her obese girl act in Size Zero. Her physical transformation for this role deserves standing ovation. With this movie, the actress made yet another addition to her repertoire of challenging roles.

We wish the wonderful actress a very Happy Birthday and hope she continues to play many more memorable roles.  “Long live Sweety”.
