“Who would have imagined that the cheerful voice hosting your morning radio show once spent years studying teeth, clinics, and textbooks? My journey was never conventional! Growing up, I was always a studious person, and like most students at the time, life seemed to offer only two respectable options: engineering or medicine. I chose medicine and pursued BDS, but somewhere along the way, I realised there was another side of me waiting to be explored. From a very young age, I had loved talking to people, making conversations, and bringing energy into a room. Dentistry gave me a career, but it did not completely satisfy the creative spark within me.
Soon after my final year, I decided to take a leap into the entertainment industry and try radio. I walked into multiple radio stations with a resume that had absolutely nothing to do with media, and rejection became a regular part of my routine. Then came a turning point, a contest by Fever FM for aspiring radio jockeys. I participated and surprisingly I won. That victory gave me a three-month internship at the station, which soon turned into a full-time opportunity because they loved my energy and work. I eventually hosted the morning show “Ready, Steady, Po,” a lively show that brought humour and conversations into people’s everyday lives.
The opportunities kept growing from there. I became a judge on Vijay TV’s “King of Comedy Junior – Season 1” alongside the late actor Robo Shankar and actress Ramba, and later participated in the reality show “Mrs. Chinnathirai.” It was such a fun experience. While hosting other corporate events, I also auditioned for Mani Ratnam Sir’s “Chekka Chivantha Vaanam” and was selected to play the sister of the brothers, followed by a role in Suseenthiran Sir’s “Kennedy Club”. I thoroughly enjoyed playing those roles.
Now, I have started creating comedy sketches on Instagram in which I play a typical South Indian mother ranting about everyday things. People have found it to be very relatable and it receives immense love and appreciation. We often struggle to understand paths that look unconventional, but life has taught me that there is no single definition of success. Sometimes the most beautiful journeys begin the moment you stop fitting into expectations and start trusting your own voice fearlessly every single day!”
