Born and brought up in Banglore, Gayathrie Sankar is an actress who gradually setting a benchmark for herself in the industry. While her acting skills are on point, it's her choice of scripts and involvement in getting into the skin of the character that makes her stand out! She debuted in 2012 with 18 Vayasu. However, it was her role in Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom that gained her much appreciation and attention. Gayathrie is one of those stars who can pull off both traditional and modern roles equally well and we love her not just for that versatility but her strong voice and empowering messages that her roles subtly make. As an artist, as an entertainer and as a woman, Gayathrie is who, we believe, is going to rise to a new level of success. As we begin to get ready for another new set of 365 days, let's get closer to the actress and get to know her on deeper levels!

Tell us how incredible was your journey in the cinema industry. From where did it all begin?

MY JOURNEY INTO THE INDUSTRY IS KIND OF LIKE A FAIRYTALE. I WAS 'DISCOVERED' ON THE STREETS OF BANGLORE.IT BEGAN WITH KRISHNA SIR (JILLUNU ORU KADHAL) CASTING ME IN HIS MOVIE AND THAT LED TO THIS ENTIRE JOURNEY. AND THERE WAS NO LOOKING BACK FROM THERE!

Did you face any initial challenges in the industry? If so, what are your takeaways from it?

I still face difficulties in the industry. I still think I'm a struggling actor. Everything that entails this title, I deal with regularly in my life. There was a time in my life, not too many years ago when I had budgeted my daily food expense to 100 rupees per day.

Your performance in Nna Thaan Case Kodu was real, raw and authentic to the role. What excited you to choose this political satire script?

I loved the cleverness of the script! How it's a political satire but it's far from preachy. Even the comedy is very clever! Apart from all this, my character was challenging. Devi is a complex character that lives by her own definition of what a family is, of what a partner means to her and of justice. And that is the driving force for Rajeevan (Chackochan) throughout the film. She has all the progressive qualities that we usually assign to characters in urban settings but is packaged as a small-town girl with a really humble livelihood.

How was your experience as a debutant in Malayam industry? Do you think there is any difference in work style between Kollywood and Mollywood industries?
