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

What: Television anchor turned actor Anasuya Bharadwaj, who was seen in Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise, has made startling revelations about Vijay Deverakonda’s publicist. She has alleged that he has paid trolls to abuse her.

Furthermore: Anasuya and Vijay used to be friends, in the actor’s words. In an interview, she claimed that she came to know from someone in Vijay’s team that his publicist has paid trolls to abuse her. She said she was shocked when found out about it. “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. 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.”

We say: …And that was the root of the problem! Phew! The South seems to be replete with spice stories literally. Bollywood better buck up!
