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.
