From a conventional Iyer middle class family in Kerala, Here comes a second daughter of the family who is educated in sociology. After completing her masters, she realizes her interest in acting.
She eventually lands up in a movie offer but the film is shelved during production. She doesn’t lose heart and signs two other films but the destiny works against her. She loses the offer from the films and the fim which she does shoot also is shelved. Although she doesn’t fit into stereotypical look of an actress, she doesn’t lose heart and she does few ad films.
If something at hand goes bad, then there is always something better awaiting. With this hope, she continues to do her work sincerely. Her manager of ad films is impressed with her work and signs his film with her. The film eventually releases and she makes a mark. But success doesn’t follow easily again and few of her films does only average at box office and she is criticized for the unconventional looks in the industry.
She realizes her potential is not in looks but in performances and focus on making the character she plays to come alive on screen. She plays the role of a southern siren Smitha popularly known as silk and earns the National Award for the Best Actress.She has redefined the women of substance in showbiz with her Kahaani.
Here is a Kahaani of her journey which emphazises one to not to work on weaknesses and be average, rather work on the strengths and be above Average. A Kahaani for all women to realize their inner potential and make a difference. A Kahaani to do the work with passion and sincererity and make the heads turn around. A kahaani of an individual from humble background who made it to top echelons.
A Kahaani for future generation to follow on.
Hats off to all women who has identified their path with their Kahaanis.
