She comes across as a girl-next-door, oblivious to the charm she exudes on her audience — be it as the resilient Malli in the National Award-winning film Joker, or the Ramya that stirred up a storm in the kitchen, and in the living room, in the reality shows Cooku With Comali and Bigg Boss Tamil 4. In fact, it’s this heady mix that’s landed her the title Chennai Times Most Desirable Woman On Television 2020.
