Heroines coming before the media and expressing their pain is nothing new to the world. In a similar case, actress Anjali-who shot into fame with Journey movie and clinched number one position with Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu-has reportedly said that she had been subjected to discrimination by her step mother Bharathi. Ms Anjali apparently spoke to some of the media persons and levelled these allegations. She was even reported to have said that Bharathi (who claimed she was Anjali's mother) had been allegedly using her as an ATM.

In an allegation that apparently moves any of her admirer was that she doesn't even have money to meet her daily expenses and her property was being looted by her step mother Bharathi with the help of Tamil director Kalamjiyam (the one who had introduced her to film industry).

Anjali who mainly appears in Tamil movies originally hails from Andhra Pradesh. She was settled in Chennai where she completed her higher education and entered modelling industry before she got a chance to act in Telugu flick Photo, which was released in 2006. Her first Tamil film was Kattradu Thamizh that was released in 2007. She soon became popular in Tamil film industry and worked in nearly dozen Tamil flicks. She's currently working on Balupu and Bol Bachchan remake.
