Actress Anjali, known for her natural performances in Tamil and Telugu cinema, recalled a funny incident from her school days that caught fans’ attention. The actress was recently promoting her next release ‘Magudam’ during an interview and opened up about the love proposals she received while growing up and the rumours that followed her after she entered the film industry. Of the many stories she shared, one incident of tying a rakhi to a classmate who kept proposing to her is gaining the most attention on social media.
Anjali’s humorous response to a schoolboy’s proposal
According to Filmibeat, Anjali recalled that a classmate had been continuously expressing his love for her from Class 7 until Class 10. Speaking about the incident, she said, “It was an ego issue. He challenged me by saying, ‘Tie a rakhi and see.’ Without thinking twice, I actually tied the rakhi.” The actress explained that she hoped the gesture would end his repeated proposals. However, things did not go as she expected.
Anjali’s rakhi story
Anjali disclosed that her classmate gave an unexpected reply to her immediately after the rakhi ceremony. Recalling the moment with a smile, she said, “I thought he would stop troubling me after that. But he removed the rakhi and said, ‘I’m not your brother… I’m Kannan,’ before walking away.” She added that she never saw him again after the incident. During the same interview, Anjali was also asked about the many romance rumours that have linked her with actors over the years. Responding playfully, she avoided naming anyone and said, “If I mention one name, you’ll ask about another. So I don’t want to name anyone. Right now, there’s no one in my life.”
Anjali continues to shine across Tamil and Telugu cinema
Anjali made her Tamil debut with ‘Kattradhu Thamizh’ and then established herself with acclaimed films such as ‘Angadi Theru,’ ‘Engaeyum Eppothum,’ and ‘Kalakalappu.’ She has carved a niche for herself in the industry by choosing performance-oriented roles rather than glamorous ones. She still has a great career in Tamil and Telugu films. The actress opened up about her personal life during the recent interview, sharing funny stories.
