Anushka deserves Nandi Award for Best Actress

The Nandi Awards were presented annually for Telugu cinema by State government. The winners of Nandi Award 2008, announced by the jury members on Yesterday dissapointed the film lovers. The reason for this is, Anushka was not rewarded with best actress award. Anushka mesmerized the audience with her stunning performance in the film Arundathi. But, the jury members rewarded her with just the special jury award. Many are questioning what colors Swathi has done in Ashta Chemma to bag the Best Actress award. They are opinioning that Swathi doesn't deserve the award, whereas Anushka deserves it.

Though Arundathi got released in January 2009, it has gone to censor in the year 2008. So the Nandi Award committee considered it as an entry in 2008.
