DEVAYANI

born Sushma on 22 June 1974 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India) is a Tamil film actress. She starred in numerous Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films, along with a few Hindi films and one Bengali film. Her debut film was to be in the Hindi film Koyal, which was later cancelled during its production stage. She received Tamil Nadu State Film Awards for her performances in the films Kadhal Kottai and Surya Vamsam. She has also appeared in the films Bharathi, Friends and Azhagi as well a in the Sun TV series Kolangal.

Career

Devyani began her career as 'Sushma' in a Bengali Film Shaat Ponchomi. She also acted in a Marathi Film before going to Tamil Nadu. Her earliest movies were released in the early and middle 90's including Kadhal Kottai.
From 1996 to 2000 Devyani acted as heroine in over 35 films and acted with Prashanth (Appu), Ajith (Kadhal Kottai), Vijay (Friends), Sarath Kumar (Suryavamsam), Parthiban (Azhagi).
She moved into supporting roles in Thenali though she still acted commercially until 2004-2005.
She began acting in the teleserial Break Kolangal as Abhinaya which has had over 1500 episodes on Sun Television.

Personal life

Devayani's father's name is Jayadev and her mother's name is Lakshmi. She has two brothers, Mayoor and Nakul, also an actor.
She studied Bachelor of Commerce in National College at the Mumbai University. An astrologer used to visit their house in those days. He was telling that one day Devayani would shine in filmfield..Immediately Devayani had reacted saying: 'It isn't possible...Not even in dreams...' Also the comment came from their parents: 'The astrologer has lost his balance of mind!'

But, just as the astrologer had said, a film chance from Hindi field had really come. That film was "Goyal". She was introduced as heroine in it. The director had changed the name 'Devayani' as 'Goyal' for the film. When the 1st shooting-schedule of this film was going on, the astrologer had again come to her house and predicted that the film won't get released at all! What a surprise? That film stopped half finished, because of financial problems!

Devayani's parents got upset. They wandered helter-skelter in search of that astrologer. At last they met him. He told that definitely Devayani would be getting other language film chances and hence they should continually strive for those chances. After that Devayani gave up her studies. Later she began acting in Malayalam films.

In Tamil, she acted in K.S.Athiyamaan's "Thottaa Chinungi". She teamed with Ajithkumar in "Kalloori Vaasal" and acted in "Sivasakthi" in which Sathyaraj and Prabu did main roles. After that, as there were no new film offers, she went back to Mumbai.

A few months later, she was booked for Agathyan's "Kaathal Kottai". That film proved to be a new-record-creating, super-hit! "Surya Vamsam" became her next super-hit. She came to be treated as one of the leading Tamil film heroines.

The habit has come to stay with her that whenever she experiences any mental tension, she uses to bite her finger nail! She hates politics as well as politicians! She is very pious that if she enters into the prayer room, she may indulge in prayer even for an hour long time!

She's an expert in cooking. Whether it's vegetarian food or non-veg. items, her preparations excel in taste. She's a good eater too! She has belief in superstition and omens.

When she was studying 1st std. in Mumbai, she's said to have gone missing one day, while she, along with her family members, had gone to Jugu Beach. But miraculously, she had found her way home. She knows Tamil, English, Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam and Gujatathi very well. Her favourite artistes are Sanjeevkumar, Shammi Kapoor, Jayabadhuri, Sree Devi, Gemini Ganesan, Padmini and Savithri.

She has received Tamilnadu Government's Best Actress award for her performance in "Kaathal Kottai", in 1997. She says that she's her own competitor.

Re: Biodata of film actress....

Geetha is a South Indian actress of Telangana origin. She debuted in a Tamil film Bhairavi as Rajnikant’s sister. Geetha has acted in films in all the South Indian languages, and in a few Hindi films; she even worked simultaneously in Telugu and Kannada films like Manavari Pandavarulu and Hennina Sedu.

Geetha studied in Bangalore up to grade 7, at Raghavendra High School, Malleswaram, Bangalore. Her father worked for a multinational company and they moved to Chennai, where Geetha completed her high school at T Nagar Girls’ High School. In 1997, she married Vasan, a chartered accountant, whose family had seen her on television. The couple moved to New York, where Vasan works as the CFO of an Internet company. She is 46 years old now.

Malayalam cinema which gave her break, utilized Geetha as a character actress and she decided to stay in the Malayalam film industry due to her love of meaningful roles. Director K. Balachander was her mentor and in Malayalam movies, she put in some superb performances notably the one in Panchagni, opposite Mohanlal, which was based on the true life story of Naxalite revolutionary Ajita, and also nominated for that year's national award for the best actress.

The role in Panchagni was the turning point for Geetha, which gave her lot of accolades and acclamations from both the critics as well as the common cinema goers and made her a popular star in malayalam. Some of her other notable films include Vatsalyam, Sughamo Devi, Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha, Aadharam, Aavanazhi, and several other films.

Although her mother tongue is Telugu, she is widely accepted by Malayalees and remains one of their favourite actresses of all time.
