Meenakshi Chaudhary in Black Midi Dress for Anaganaga Oka Raju Interview

As the countdown to the high-stakes Sankranthi box office battle begins, actress Meenakshi Chaudhary has been making waves with her impeccable promotional style. For her latest round of press interviews for the much-anticipated January 14, 2026 release, Anaganaga Oka Raju, the actress swapped traditional festive wear for a sharp, contemporary look that has become an instant hit on social media.

Meenakshi arrived for her media interactions looking every bit the modern leading lady in an Avim Black Fit & Flare Midi Dress from RAREISM. The choice of the "Avim" dress highlighted her penchant for "quiet luxury"—a style that prioritizes clean lines and high-quality tailoring over loud patterns.

To complement the "all-black" aesthetic, Meenakshi’s glam team opted for a "less is more" approach. She wore her hair in a sleek, pin-straight style with a sharp middle parting, tucked behind her ears to showcase her delicate gold hoop earrings. Her makeup was the perfect "clean girl" look—a luminous, dewy base, subtle winged eyeliner, and a nude-brown glossy lip that added a touch of warmth to the monochrome outfit.

During her conversation with film critics, including a notable sit-down with Baradwaj Rangan, Meenakshi spoke candidly about her transition from high-octane action roles to the quirky, comedic world of Anaganaga Oka Raju. She praised her co-star Naveen Polishetty for his impeccable comic timing, mentioning that her character, who is "loud and full of life," was a refreshing challenge that allowed her to show a different side of her acting range.
