Amid the glitz of Bollywood’s Oscar buzz, Bhojpuri cinema celebrated its own stars at the Saras Salil Bhojpuri Cine Awards 2026 in Patna. Anjana Singh emerged victorious, securing the Best Actress honor for ‘Chhoti Didi Badi Didi’ and leaving competitors Akshara Singh and Amrapali Dubey in the dust. The event on March 15 at Bapu Sabhaghar was a night to remember.
Dressed in a striking black saree, Anjana’s poised acceptance speech and video clip captured hearts, sparking an outpour of fan love online. This accolade highlights her evolution from supporting roles to commanding the spotlight in empowering tales.
The 2025 release, starring Anjana and Yamini Singh, hit screens via TV and Dangal OTT post its trailer drop in January. At its core is a gripping saga of sibling resilience against familial betrayal. The elder sister (Anjana) weds into a toxic extended family, where envious aunts sabotage her life by assassinating her husband. Enter the younger sister (Yamini), who marries her brother-in-law to infiltrate the household, leading to a explosive alliance that dismantles the villains with action-packed vengeance.
Blending intense family drama with pulse-pounding sequences, the movie stands out for its bold feminist undertones. Freely accessible on YouTube, it has amassed a massive following. Anjana’s affinity for strong female leads shines here, positioning her as Bhojpuri’s go-to heroine and fueling anticipation for her next ventures.
