Actress Anushka Shetty, known for her grace both on and off screen, once again showed her respect for her roots. On the occasion of Guru Purnima, Anushka Shetty took to Instagram to express gratitude to her long-time yoga teacher, Bharat Thakur.
Before entering films, Anushka was a devoted yoga student under Bharat Thakur, the founder of Artistic Yoga and a well-known name in modern yoga circles. Though her film career took her in a different direction, her respect and admiration for her guru has remained unchanged.
Anushka shared a heartfelt Instagram post with folded hands emojis, thanking Bharat Thakur for being her guiding force in life. She mentioned how his teachings still inspire her and said she continues to hold him in the highest regard. She also expressed thanks to her family members for always standing by her.
Bharat Thakur is also known to Telugu audiences as the husband of actress Bhumika Chawla.
Anushka Shetty has often been praised not just for her performances but for the dignity with which she carries herself in the industry. Unlike many, she chooses her roles carefully and focuses on films that offer meaningful content rather than quantity.
After a long gap, Anushka is back with two upcoming films. One of them, titled Ghaati, directed by Krish, is ready for release. Her fans are eagerly waiting to see her on screen again. Despite producers being ready to offer her high pay for women-centric films, Anushka continues to be selective, preferring unique and powerful roles.
With her consistent grace and humility, Anushka remains a special figure in Indian cinema.
