Anusha Dandekar, who has been a familiar face in the entertainment industry for over two decades, never shied from sharing her opinions. She recently shared a surprising revelation from her teenage years. The actress-host opened up about an incident that could have changed her life forever. She revealed that at the age of 14, she ended up in the hospital after unknowingly consuming too much alcohol. Celebrity fans and followers have always admired her high energy, and she now shares the story behind it, including how people often ask her manager how she stays so hyperactive.

Anusha Dandekar on getting hospitalised at 14

The young Anusha learned an important lesson from that incident. During a conversation with Dr Madhu Chopra on her YouTube channel, she recalled the incident and said, the drink tasted like passion fruit and it was yum, so she drank the whole thing. The nurse later told her father that she will never drink alcohol like that.


She admitted that the hospital episode was enough to keep her away from alcohol ever since, and she has remained cautious about her choices ever since. She credited her parents for giving her trust and freedom, saying that their support encouraged her to make responsible decisions. Their guidance, she explained, played a big role in shaping her discipline and self-awareness even at a young age.

Anusha also revealed that she has never tried drugs, stating that she has always been careful about maintaining control over her mind. The actress explained that she simply does not want to risk losing her mental balance. Smoking, too, was never part of her life, largely due to her father’s habit and her own asthma. She admitted to trying a cigarette once but disliked it, both for the smell and its effects.

The actor-host credits her early professional life for strengthening her sense of responsibility. Moving from Australia to Mumbai at the age of 20, she joined MTV, which she describes as a turning point. The experience taught her independence and grounded her in a profession that could have otherwise led to a reckless lifestyle. She got her own apartment, managed her job, and learned to value the opportunities she had without taking anything for granted.


The reason behind Anusha's hyper activeness

Anusha laughed about how her natural hyperactivity often leads people to assume she relies on substances. Fans and acquaintances frequently ask her manager what she takes to maintain such high energy, but the actress insists that her vibrancy is completely natural. She attributes it to her disciplined lifestyle, positive mindset, and love for staying active.
