Ramya Krishnan: The Sivagami Of Indian Cinema (Mollywood)

Here is a short ode to the actress who has impressed people with the versatility of the roles:

1. She was born on 15th September 1970 to her parents Krishnan and Maya in a typical Tamil household based in Chennai. She happens to be the niece of the legendary comedian in Tamil Cinema Cho Ramaswamy.

2. She has been given rigorous training in various dance forms ranging from Kuchipudi to Bharatanatyam to western. She has also given stage performances at various formal events. Her dancing skills were shown in this song from Aadupuliyattam where her expressions were just priceless. This was surely a treat to watch for.

3. Her magic was cast among the films of Mollywood where she was featured with big names like Mammootty, Mohanlal and many other actors we can think of. Her first film was Neram Pularambol which released in 1986 where she was featured with Mammootty and Mohanlal in it, her last film Aadupuliyattam released in 2016 which was a commercial success. She is currently gearing up for her upcoming film which is directed by Bhadran.

4. After achieving popularity with her films all over India in various languages, her popularity crossed borders when she was offered the role of Maharani Sivagami in the biggest film of Indian Cinema and that is none other than the Baahubali duology. She immortalized the character of Sivagami with conviction and hard work that it not only impressed the Indians but even the Japanese started applauding the film. The first part of the Baahubali duology was the first Indian film to be nominated at the Saturn Awards in 2016.

We just feel like saluting this woman for her immense dedication to the world of Indian Cinema.
