Career

Sandhya was studying when she starred in the Tamil love story Kaadhal. The role was offered to Gopika, however due to that actress having other commitments the role eventually went to Sandhya.

After Kaadhal, for which she won the Filmfare Best Tamil Actress Award of 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. After the success of the film Dishyum, she opted to discontinue her studies before passing her 10th class. She was also a part of Mani Ratnam's stage show, Netru, Indru, Naalai and many other stage shows. In her third Tamil film, Vallavan, she had only a small role, and the film had only modest box office success.[3] She also acted in Koodal Nagar with Bharath. She debuted in playback singing for the film Manjal Veiyil.[4] In 2010, she appeared in a role opposite Vishnuvardhan in the Kannada film Aptharakshaka directed by P. Vasu, her role commended by the critics. The film was successful, and appeared at cinemas for 35 continuous weeks.

She was approached for the voice-over for Shriya Saran's character in Sivaji, however, S. Shankar later preferred actress Kanika Subramaniam's voice.

She is scheduled to appear in Tarun Gopi's forthcoming film Soodhaatam,[5] Second Innings[6] and Long Sight.[7] She has been a judge on a number of reality shows including Comedy Stars and Little Stars on Asianet.
