Hyderabad, Jan. 14 -- The Cyber Crimes wing of the Cyberabad Police booked 73 people, including social media influencers and journalists, after an actress filed a complaint of online harassment on Monday, January 12, in Hyderabad.

In her complaint, the actress, Anasuya Bharadwaj, said the online harassment began on December 22, 2025, when Telugu actor Sivaji said that women should opt for sarees or fully covered outfits, and that "beauty lies in complete attire and not in displaying physical assets." The remarks drew widespread condemnation.

On December 23, media personnel sought Bharadwaj's reaction, for which the actress favoured individual freedom and personal choice. The following day, Sivaji took her name to discuss her views.
