Ramya Krishnan is a name synonymous with brilliant acting and commitment to characters. She was born on September 15, 1970. She had a keen interest in Indian classical dance styles and was in awe of them since the time she was a small girl. She loved it so much that at a very young age, she started training in dance forms such as Kuchipudi and Bharatnatyam, and ended up performing in various stage dance competitions. She was known for her vivid expressions and fluid bodily movement even in those days, she truly set herself up for success.
Ramya Krishnan has appeared in films in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. She has four Filmfare Awards, three Nandi Awards and a Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prize to her name. She has now reached the mark of 200 movies in her filmography. This milestone is a dream that many actors see in their lifetime, and not many can boast that they have conquered it. Ramya’s stint in this long acting career has been nothing short of surprising.
But do you know that she landed her first role by chance? When Ramya Krishnan was a mere 14 years of age, she was reading the Kumudham newspaper. She chanced upon her photograph of an advertisement for biscuits. In this period, she was auditioning for the role of a female lead in a film. The director of the film inquired about her and located her relative. They reached out to the relative, and they responded by saying, “Go directly and talk to her.” The director then met her and signed the actress for her first film Vellai Manasu in 1985.
After appearing in Vellai Manasu, there was no stopping her. She became popular after her debut in 1985 and garnered mass acclaim during the period of 80s and 90s. The peak of her acting career was when she appeared in the movies, Baahubali: The Beginning, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Jailer and Guntur Kaaram. She rose to prominence in her role as the powerful and authoritative Raja Mata in Baahubali, alongside stars like Prabhas, Tamannah Bhatia and Rana Daggubatti.
