Sneha alias Suhasini one of the top actress of Southern film industry
is a rare blend of beauty and talent. Though her parents hail from Rajamundhry,
Andhra Pradesh, Sneha was born in Mumbai and brought up in Dubai. She
was spotted by director Fazil in a cultural show in Dubai and recommended her to a
Malayalam film director. She
debuted with the Malayalam film 'Engane Oru Nila Pakshi' opposite Kunjako Boban (2000).Through the film flopped, she was noticed
by directors of Tamil and Telugu industries.
She soon got an offer from Tamil and was paired opposite Prashanth in Susi Ganesan's 'Virumbigiren'
(2001) in which she acted without make-up. This was followed by 'Ennavale'
(2001) with Madhavan, which bombed at the box-office. But with a charm and grace
that one associates with heroines of yesteryears, Sneha played her role
with the ease of a veteran. It was the Lingusamy directed 'Aanandam'
(2001) that gave her the much-awaited hit and soon she was a name to
reckon with in Tamil and Telugu films.
Sneha was hyped as a strong runner for the top slot after she got noticed
in films such as 'Punnagai Desam' and 'Pammal K Sambandam'
(2002). But her films like 'Paarthale Paravasam', 'Yeh Nee
Romba Azhaga Irrukey' and 'King' did not do too well
at the box-office. The same year she made up, with a hit movie, 'April
Maadhathil', with Srikanth in the lead and together the two made a cute pair.
Her next movie was 'Vaseegara' (2003) with Vijay, where she was absolutely
comfortable in the role of a woman who is unrelenting in her love
for her hero.
In 2004, she got three hits such as 'Jana', 'Vasool Raja
MBBS' and 'Autograph'. In 2005, she had two films to her credit, 'Chinna' and
'ABCD'. She got rave reviews
for her fabulous performance as a widow in 'ABCD' and her portrayal of a difficult role in
'Chinna'.
Though she has acted in many Telugu films, the success of K Ragavendra
Rao-directed mythological movie 'Sri Ramadasu' (2006) helped Sneha
to firm up her foothold in Telugu cinema. Her role in the movie, steeped
in the bhakti culture, was well appreciated by moviegoers. Meanwhile,
her Mollywood flick with Mammootty,
'Thuruppugulan'
(2006), was also a big hit. In 'Pudhupettai' (2006), Sneha as a battered
and bruised prostitute is a revelation. She is precise and poised in
her portrayal.
The svelte, charming actress who has learnt folk dance and Bharathnatyam
is very particular about her roles. Lately she has been choose and
only accept roles that test her skill as an
actress. With in a short span of time, this
natural beauty with her bewitching smile and wide expressive eyes has
carved a niche for herself as an actress of caliber. Her decent dress
sense and pleasing demeanor places her in a class apart.
