She is a beautiful woman who has created history.
When Anasuya Gupta accepted the Best Actress Award in the Un Certain Regard category at the recently concluded 2024 Cannes Film Festival, she walked where no Indian actor had before; she is the first Indian actor to be honoured in this category.
She plays Renuka in The Shamless, a sex worker who escapes from her brothel after killing a cop and ends up falling in love – a nuanced, unforgettable performance, say reviewers.
Anasuya’s fierce individuality shows in the outfits she chooses to wear as well.

‘How many wedding photos is too many wedding photos?’ she captions this one.
There can never be too many, Anasuya, especially when you look as stunning as this.
We absolutely love her smile, her suit and her jewellery.
