Anasuya Bharadwaj Instagram – When Anasuya Bharadwaj spoke about women’s autonomy and clothing she did not imagine that she would be stepping into a battlefield on online abuse.
A popular Telugu actor and television host, Bharadwaj has spent over a decade in the public eye, and has over 1.2 million followers across social media platforms.
Misogyny wrapped itself in the language of culture, tradition, and decency that Bharadwaj assumed would pass. “I thought it was just a nonsensical crowd. I believed it would die down in a few days.” Instead, it kept on escalating. Her argument about autonomy and choice was erased and was replaced with a false binary that a male actor was defending modesty while a woman was allegedly encouraging indecency. She felt her viewpoint disappeared under layers of distortion.
