She has gone to a different league with her performance in Baahubali and has proved how far she can go as an actress by putting on so many kilograms for her upcoming film Size Zero.

Recently, her Panchakshari film producer Chandra shared a statement about Anushka and said how committed she was while working on the film Panchakshari.

Speaking about her effort, he said, "She took Rs 2.5 lakhs from me and added another Rs 2.5 lakhs of her own money, went to Bangkok, and bought the costumes required for Panchakshari herself. There's no one like her; few people are born like that." These words clearly show how rare and special Anushka Shetty is in the film industry.
