Facts/Trivia

  After knowing that I am a daughter of actress Anuradha, they came to my house and approached me to act in their film. Initially my mother denied it reasoning my education but it is me who insisted on acting with Vijay and Suriya.”

• Her performance in the 2004 item number Aa Ante Amalapuram roped in similar offers for her in the following years.

However, she soon went back on her decision as she believed that being branded as an item girl did not hamper her chances as an actress.
