Sandhya is a South Indian actress renowned for her expressive face. Her real name is Revathy but she uses the name Sandhya because "Revathy" has already been taken by an older tollywood actress. She was born in Kerala in 1989, but brought up in Chennai, Tamilnadu. Her father was transferred to Chennai when she was two years old. Her father is a bank employee, while her mother is a beautician. Her brother is studying in SRM College, Chennai. After her superb performance in her first movie, "Kadhal", opposite Bharath, she was often referred to as Kutty Kajol, a famous Bollywood actress.

[edit] Career

Sandhya was an ordinary school going shy girl until she starred in the critically acclaimed Tamil love story Kaadhal. She was studying in vidyodaya school and her father used to drop her and pick her up at school daily. It was on one such day that she was spotted by director film director Balaji Sakthivel and was offered the female lead role in Kaadhal. She planned to do the Visual Communications course after her plus two. However, due to her rising fame especially after the super-hit Dishyum, her second Tamil film, she had to discontinue her studies before even passing her 10th standard.

After Kaadhal, which remarkably on her first film won her the best Filmfare South actress of 2004, she took up a Malayalam film titled Alice in Wonderland. Then came the musical romance Dishyum with Jeeva.

She was also a part of Mani Ratnam's stage show, Netru, Indru, Naalai. Vallavan, her third Tamil film, Vallavan, did not do justice to her acting prowess as she was offered such a suprisingly small role; neither did the film set the box office on fire.

She is now signed on Koodal Nagar with her former co-star Bharath and a Selvaraghavan film. She is getting ready to indulge in some playback singing for her new Tamil film Manjal Veiyil. [[1]]

She's been approached for dubbing for Shriya in Sivaji but at last minute director Shankar prefered actress Kanika's voice. [[2]]
