her mother tongue is Tulu.Though she was born in Mumbai, she found herself shifted to
Bangalore before she started schooling and it was in Bangalore she completed her
schooling and graduation.

director.

critics all over the country.In year 2006 she played against R. Madhavan in a Tamil
movie called ‘Rendu’ and the movie did fairly well in the box office.

Though she has played against several top actors in not so badly performed movies, she
is still waiting for that one blockbuster movie to come to her career. She never had a
movie which can be called a huge success, something that can remould and give a clear
direction to any budding heroine’s career.

controversy whether she is a vegetarian or not. But most sources agree that she is a
pure vegetarian and she is gifted with this amazing ability to make great foods.

paramount hobby, which is to collect news articles about natural disasters.
