Actress Radha was a top heroine from the eighties and reigned
supremacy in the Tamil cine field for more than a decade. She has acted in
numerous movies with the cream of the Tamil cinema heroes from Rajinikanth,
Kamalahaasan, Sathyaraj, Prabu, Vijayakanth to Karthik, Suresh and Mohan. She
has also held her own against Sivaji Ganesan in Mudhal Mariyathai
In total Radha has acted in about 200 films in all the four south Indian
languages. Her five favourites among her films are ... Alaigal Oyvadhillai [the
first is always the best], Kadhal Oviyum, Mudhal Mariyathai [with Sivaji Ganesan],
Ninaive Oru Sangeetham, and Amman Kovil Kizhakkale.
Even as big offers were coming her way, Radha made a graceful exit from Tamil
filmdom following her marriage to a successful hotelier Rajasekaran Nair. Since
her marriage she has settled in Mumbai and is into restaurant business with her
husband and three children: Krithika, Vignesh, and the youngest Thulasi. She
pursues her undying passion for the Arts by continuing classical dance lessons
alongside her eldest daughter. She has also recently performed at the famous
Chidambaram Natarajar temple which she claims was her dream.
Radha has stated that she doesn't mind doing meaningful roles in Tamil movies if
they come by. Her eldest daughter is currently being groomed to become a heroine
in Tamil. In a couple of years we might see a kutty Radha adorning the silver
screen as a reminiscence of the talented beauty who stole many hearts in the
yesteryears.
