Priyamani
Getting an opportunity to work with the Who’s Who of filmdom is a rare blessing bestowed on a lucky few. Emerging stronger and moving on sans regret is also a blessing bequeathed on a privileged few. She has dealt with success and failure on her own terms: neither letting the former go to her head nor allowing the latter to pull her down. In the midst of her seesawing career she is poised, pragmatic and perceptive. There is no meek demeanour or evasive replies as far as Priyamani is concerned and in the eye of all storms it is this candidness that sets her apart. With the kind of no-nonsense behaviour that is her signature, the charming actor gets talking to Anusha Surendran on her cinematic journey, her dream roles and on how she will always be a director’s actor.

Divya Spandana
Brutal honesty, flamboyant personality and admirable talent aside, Divya Spandana aka Ramya is truly a livewire. With a title ‘Sandalwood Queen’, her entry into politics and a successful stint in Kollywood, she has done quite a bit and in very little time that too. When you look at her, she reminds you of Thumbelina, but as she begins to speak, you realize that she is a force to be reckoned with. Her tongue-in-cheek responses to questions, sarcasm interspersed with notoriety and a nonchalant attitude about most things in life are all extremely endearing. In a chitchat with Chandini K, Divya Spandana talks about her childhood, entry into films, dabbling with politics, love life and more.

Vidhya Balan
Over the years we have lost our hearts to many actresses who have moved us with their onscreen performances. This is one such woman, with eyes that are beyond expressive and a smile that is ever so contagious. She is an ideal example of someone who becomes one with the character. To call her a versatile actress would be an understatement. Her poetic innocence in Parineeta, whimsical charm in Ishqiya, intense emotions in Paa and unflinching effrontery in No One Killed Jessica kept us all in awe.

Aishwarya Dhanush
Over the years we have seen sons and daughters of the film fraternity carry the torch and do their bit to contribute something new to the industry. Some use the leverage of their backing and are not ashamed of it while some believe in being self-made and not cutting corners, because to them, success is one that is solely earned and not one that thrives under the shadows of influence. Here is one such woman who is very hard to peg as a superstar’s daughter, definitely not because she is in dearth of talent but only because of the sheer absence of even traces of vanity.

Shruti Hasan
The leaps and throws of her rasping voice can be identified from miles away. Her proclivity to music doesn’t just stop with singing; she also creates music. Her foray into acting began up north (talk about being multitalented) and then she enthralled the Telugu audience through her performances in films like Anaganaga O Dheerudu and Oh My Friend. Some people don’t need introduction at all- perhaps why it felt funny when some of us saw the word “arimugam” (debutante) before her name on the title of her first Tamil movie, 7am Arivu.
