A single mother of two beautiful children, Anusha is a workaholic who believes Giving is Living. She is also mother to over 110 dogs and cats she has opened the doors of her home to, aptly naming it Pawsitive Farm Sanctuary, continuing to help every pet coming their way but phone calls for help for many, many more animals come every day. So Pawsitive now needs to graduate from being a small home to a shelter home, a sanctuary for every animal in need and to provide a home not just for cats and dogs but also for old, maimed, abandoned and amputated cattle, donkeys and horses to graze and live.

Her debut short film, Saare Sapne Apne Hai has won rave reviews and has been screened at over 120 festivals and been awarded at 51 prestigious festivals across the globe.
