Mirzapur actor recalls getting vulgar emails Speaking to Hindi Rush, Anangsha shared that she was deeply disturbed after the release of Mirzapur Season 1 as she started receiving inappropriate emails, with several people approaching her in an inappropriate manner.
She said in Hindi, "After Season 1, I was very disturbed because it was all very new to me. There were comments, strange emails and people commenting on my social media, with the same kind of words being used everywhere. I was a little shaken. I thought my work was my Saraswati and I had done it with complete dedication, so why were people saying these things."
She shared that many people assumed she was like her character in real life as well, which resulted in her receiving deeply uncomfortable emails and messages. "People asked, 'How much would you charge for one night? Come with us to Mauritius for two days, for a weekend." she said. She added that such messages had filled her inbox.
The actor emphasised that this mindset needs to change and that people should learn to separate an actor from the characters they portray on screen, especially if they play a bold and grey character.
