My entrance into films was in the year 1980,at the age of fifteen! I was in my 10th standard when I was coerced by some well-meaning friends(!!) to contest in a beauty pageant conducted by "THUMS UP",the popular soft drink company.AND THE REST AS THEY SAY WAS HISTORY!!!!Though being a teleguite by birth my 1st film was a tamil one,called"Disai Mariya Paravaigal",which was a big hit!After which I went on to act in over 175 movies in Telugu,Tamil,Malayalam,Kannada and Hindi films too! This is how I met my future husband and Kannada filmstar Ambarish!
