Suhasini is an Indian actress, who has predominantly appeared in Telugu films. She began her acting career in 2003 in the Telugu film industry with a starring role. She went on to play lead and supporting roles in Telugu films and appear in a number of Tamil and Bhojpuri films, before debuting in television.
Career[edit]
Suhasini hails from Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh, India. Her acting debut was B. Jaya's Chantigadu after which she went on to act in four Tamil films.[1] In her first Tamil film, the horror flick Adhu, she played a ghost,[2] and The Hindu's critic noted that she was 'quite expressive'.[3] She later acted in Rama Narayanan's Mannin Maindhan, a remake of the Telugu film Yagnam.[4][5] About Suha's performance in the film, The Hindu wrote: 'Suha is beautiful and charming in the song sequences and has also tried her best to emote'.[6] She was also cast as the female lead in Unnai Enakku Pidichirukku, that featured comedian Senthil's son Naveen in his debut.[7][8] All her Tamil projects were unsuccessful.[9][10]
She then returned to Telugu cinema and in the following years, she either starred in low-profile films—such as Sundaraniki Tondarekkuva, which saw her reuniting with her Chantigadu co-star Baladitya,[11]Guna,[12]Prema Charitra, Highway and Sandadi[13]—or appeared in supporting roles in projects like Kokila,[14]Bhookailas,[15]Lakshmi Kalyanam,[16]Pandurangadu[17] and Punnami Nagu. In between, she had another Tamil release Gnabagam Varuthe, co-starring Venkat Prabhu and S. P. B. Charan,[18] and also made her Kannada debut in Baa Bega Chandamama.[19]
In 2010, she ventured into television, playing the lead role in the Telugu serial Aparanji.[20] The series completed over 300 episodes,[21] which led to her landing further lead roles in Anubandalu (replacing Meena) and Ashta Chamma, besides earning her the 2011 AP Cinegoers' Award for Best Actress.[22] She also acted in a Tamil TV series, Sivasankari. After her television debut, she enacted lead roles in Super Good Films' Tamil drama film Pillaiyar Theru Kadaisi Veedu[23] and the Telugu devotional film Sri Vasavi Vaibhavam,[24] and acted in two Bhojpuri films with Sudip Pandey.
In February 2015, her new TV Serial Iddaru-Ammayilu started on Zee Telugu. Please see http://www.zeetelugu.com/shows/iddaru-ammayilu. In the same year, she got engaged to her co-star in the serial Iddaru Ammayilu; Dharma who played Arya in the end of February in 2016.
