Yes great but no cigars...Razz

This Kanika was a Professional Singer before she came to movies at 19 in the middle of her BE at BITS. Started out in Tamil and acted under great directors, and moved to Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam winning many acting awards along the way. Acted during Christmas and Summer holidays in blockbuster movies and going back to college. She was/is a model and TV Game show host, TV anchor, acted in TV serials (usually reserved for post-movie stars), Dubbed voice for other great heroines including Genelia, Sada, and Shriya in blockbuster movies.

Then she - like typical Tambrahmi girl - married at 28 a US-Based software engineer in an aranged marriage, then came back to act in more hit movies, and had a baby thus living a conventional middle class family life.

Finnaaaallly...She is 5' 11" Sorry....case closed...Wink
