From the portals of school to the arc lights of celluloid was not something that Sandhya had in mind. But Destiny played her hand, when this school going girl was chosen for the lead role in the Tamil film, ‘Kadhal,’ opposite Bharat. This film brought to notice her acting abilities and offers poured in.

Today, Sandhya is six films old, with two state awards and a FilmFare award in a very short time in the industry. The first state award was for her debut film while the second one given this year was for ‘Dishyum,’ another Tamil film. The FilmFare award was for the Telugu film, ‘Annavaram.’ She is playing a lead role in the film, ‘Kannamoochi Enadaa,’ directed by Priya V. This film is to be released shortly.

Sandhya is a typical teenager, dressed in her capris and tees. She looks back on her films as she chats with Mythily Ramachandran.
