Revathy (born 27 September 1988), known by her stage name Kadhal Sandhya, is an Indian former actress who appeared mainly in Tamil film industry and in a few Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada films.[1]

Early life

[edit]

She was born in the year 1988. Her father Ajith is an employee of IOB and her mother Maya is a beautician. She has an elder brother, Rahul.[2] She attended Vidyodaya Girls Higher Secondary School, Chennai until completing Class 9.[2]

Career

[edit]

Sandhya was studying when she starred in the Tamil love story Kaadhal. The role was offered to many known actresses, including Ileana D'Cruz and then Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, but the latter's father was reluctant to let her become an actress at the time. The team next picked Saranya Nag who was in Class IX, when cinematographer Vijay Milton suggested her name to Balaji Sakthivel.[3][4] She was initially considered to play the heroine in the film, but finally the role was later handed to Sandhya, after the director felt Saranya looked too young.[5]

After the success of the film Kaadhal,in 2004, she took up a Malayalam film titled Alice in Wonderland which she played as the sister of actor Jayaram. Then came the musical romance Dishyum with Jeeva. In her third Tamil film, Vallavan alongside Silambarasan (who was also the director of the film), she had only a small role, and the film had only modest box office success.[citation needed] She also acted in Koodal Nagar with Bharath. After the success of Cycle, she shifted her focus to Malayalam cinema.[citation needed] She debuted as a playback singer for the film Manjal Veiyil.[6] In 2010, she appeared in a role opposite Vishnuvardhan in the Kannada film Aptharakshaka directed by P. Vasu.

She is scheduled to appear in Tarun Gopi's forthcoming film Soodhaatam,[7] Second Innings[8] and Long Sight.[citation needed] She has been a judge on a number of reality shows including Comedy Stars and Little Stars on Asianet.

Personal life

[edit]

Sandhya married Venkat Chandrasekhar, a Chennai-based IT businessman, on 6 December 2015. The ceremony was held at Guruvayur Temple. The couple have a daughter, born on 27 September 2016.[9]
