From Kerala to Vogue: Anupama Slays!

Anupama Parameswaran’s gorgeous January-February cover for Vogue India reflects the classic beauty of Raja Ravi Varma’s famous muses. The actress looks elegant in a stunning pink outfit, and a lovely bindi is the ideal finishing touch. In a contemporary take on the timeless artworks that have immortalized feminine grace, the cover photo recasts Anupama as Padmini, the lotus nymph.

Anupama talks about her personal journey in an exclusive interview with Vogue. She says, “When I was younger, I longed for the grace of Raja Ravi Varma’s muses, secretly longing to carry it as my own.” And now that she is on the cover, that desire comes true. Anupama’s ability to speak five languages fluently, in addition to her stunning appearance, has enabled her to play a variety of parts in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films. Anupama continues to redefine what it means to be a talented actor, from her iconic Premam debut to her most recent hits, Karthikeya 2 and 18 Pages.

“I do not mind mugging ten pages of conversation but photoshoots and interviews stress me out,” the actress admits, despite her notoriety. She is even more approachable because of her grounded honesty, which also reveals the calm strength that underlies her raucous existence in the spotlight.

Anupama has 16 million Instagram followers, making her one of the most popular celebrities on social media. This burgeoning star is unstoppable as she prepares to release six new films in Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil. Her transition into Vogue’s muse is only the start of what looks to be another prosperous year.
