Sri Divya (born 1 April 1993) is an Indian actress who works primarily in Tamil and Telugu films. She won Nandi Award for Best Child Actress for Bharati, a Telugu film in 2006.[1]
Early life
Sri Divya was born in Hyderabad of present-day Telangana on 1 April 1993.[2] Divya has an elder sister, Sri Ramya who also acts in Telugu and Tamil films.[3][4] Sri Divya studied in the Kendriya Vidyalaya.[5]
Career
Sri Divya started her career at the age of three. She has also acted in Telugu television serials.[6][7]
She made her debut as a heroine in the 2010 Telugu romance film Manasara, directed by Ravi Babu, but the film was a failure.[5] Then she featured in the film Bus Stop (2012) directed by Maruthi, co-starring Prince, which was successful at the box office.[8] It was followed by Mallela Theeram Lo Sirimalle Puvvu in which she played a lonely wife who falls in love with a writer.[citation needed] About her performance, The Hindu wrote, "she looks very charming; the cotton saris bring out the grace in her".[9] Idlebrain.com wrote, "Sri Divya epitomizes the character of an idealistic and independent woman. She did well and deserves applause".[10]
Her Tamil debut was Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam opposite Siva Karthikeyan, which was directed by Ponram. Sri Divya received very positive reviews from critics for her performance.[citation needed] Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "the actress is good. She knows the language, knows how to work a reaction shot, and she looks like she belongs in this milieu. It will be interesting to see what Tamil cinema makes of her".[11] The Times of India wrote, "But the real surprise is debutant Sri Divya, who, is expressive, and can lip-sync very well, which isn't the case with most of our heroines today".[12] The New Indian Express wrote, "As Latha, debutant Sridivya emotes well, infusing the character with innocence, charm and naughtiness".[13]
In 2014 she appeared in two Tamil films, Suseenthiran's Jeeva[14] and Vellaikaara Durai.
