Anusree’s journey into cinema began with dreams but was met with unexpected pain
Anusree, known for her strong screen presence in Malayalam cinema, didn’t have a smooth start despite her early success. When she entered the film industry over a decade ago, her life changed overnight, but her hometown’s response was far from encouraging. The young actor, who was discovered by director Lal Jose through an acting reality show, made her debut with Diamond Necklace in 2012. It was a proud moment, but what followed behind the scenes was deeply painful.
She recently opened up about how difficult those early days were not because of the industry, but because of the people in her own town. Instead of celebrating her success, many chose to gossip and judge. The shift in perception among people she once called friends made her feel isolated. Anusree admitted she didn’t know how to explain her life in cinema to those around her. The support system she had hoped for just wasn’t there.
Anusree reveals her father’s silent suffering and a public breakdown
While Anusree tried to stay strong, the negative talk didn’t just affect her — it reached her family too. She shared how her parents protected her from the worst of it, often choosing not to tell her the details of what was being said. But the impact was evident. Her father, who never directly expressed his hurt to her, would quietly confide in her mother. When Anusree finally learned how cruel some of the comments were, she even considered moving homes just to escape it. But her father refused to leave the place they had always called home.
What broke her heart the most was witnessing her father break down in public during a video shoot. The strength he had maintained all along finally gave way to emotion. In that moment, Anusree realized how much her career choices had unintentionally hurt the people she loved not because of what she did, but because of how others viewed it. It was a deeply emotional experience that stayed with her.
Today, Anusree stands strong, proud, and clear about her future
Now 34, Anusree has carved a respected place in Malayalam cinema, with recent performances in Thalavan and Kadha Innuvare. The same girl who once questioned her place in the industry is now confident, vocal, and unafraid to be herself. Her perspective on life has also evolved.

When talking about love and relationships, she made it clear that she doesn’t want to compromise her identity for marriage. She believes in staying close to her roots and wants a partner who will accept her life as it is including her passion for acting and her bond with her family. She no longer feels the need to move away or hide parts of herself to be accepted. If anything, she’s inviting someone into her world not the other way around.
Anusree’s story is a reminder of the quiet battles many artists fight offscreen. The harsh words, the emotional toll on families, the constant judgment they’re all part of the untold side of fame. But through it all, she held on, supported by her family and her own inner strength. Also Read: Lokesh Kanagaraj Bags Rs. 50 Crore for ‘Coolie’ After Leo’s Success – Fans Can’t Wait
