Friends call her ‘honey’ and once you come to know this beautiful young thing, you will know how sweet this honey actually is. She speaks English, Hindi, Tamil and French. She completed her education in Ethiraj College and Church Park College. She was a very good student and everybody in the college wanted to be her friend.


Trisha is the only child of her parents and she still lives along with her parents and her grandmother. Even from her school days she used to participate in cultural programs and other competitions like dance competition in the school and clubs and drama competitions. During this period she got interested in the ballet dance and she couldn’t resist the temptation to join a dance class. She loved all performing events specially dancing. Her teachers and fellow students loved her for the kind of talent she displayed. She studied in the same school as former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalitha


She started her career as a model. She had been a model for many popular brands including Pepsi, Fair and Lovely, Medimix, Josco Jewelers, Prince Jewelers, Kumaram Silks etc. Young Trisha nabbed lots of attention from these add movies and she has become one of the most familiar add film models after doing all these big add films.

During her modeling periods, she tried her hands in the Miss Chennai Contest 99 and nabbed a stunning victory; she also bagged ‘Miss Beautiful Smile’ title in the femina contest. She cat walked for almost all the leading designers in south India and she also appeared in a hit Phalguni Pathak video called ‘Meri Choonar Ud Ud Jaye’.

She started her movie career with a cameo role in a movie called ‘Jodi’ in 1999 and this was a good starting for her because a leading role in a movie was waiting for her in the near future. That happened with her next movie called ‘Leysa Leysa’ (2002)-a Priyadarshan movie in which she played the titular role of Balamani.


She had to face few flops during the early stage of her career in the form of ‘Manasellam’ and ‘Alai’. But this never affected her confidence and she continued to work hard and she always tried to give everything she has got to each and every project she signed. This dedicated and hardworking attitude always kept her right on track and in the same year she won critical acclaim for her wonderful performance in ‘Mounam Pesiyadhe’ opposite to Surya.

Later she signed a movie called ‘Sammy’ against Tamil superstar Vikram and the movie was one of the biggest hit of that year. In the very next year she delivered another huge hit in the form of ‘Gilli’ with Super Star Vijay. In 2004 she won two major awards viz Filmfare Best Actress Award (Telugu) and Santosham Best Actress Award for a film called ‘Varsham’. Another film she was called up for was Mani Ratnam's Aayitha Ezhuthu with Siddharth Narayan, Madhavan and Surya, which was the only time she dubbed herself for a film.




Her 2006 hit Telungu film ‘Stalin’ created a national record by collecting Rs. 130.8 million in five days, this film is one of the biggest international hits from south India ever. She is currently acting in one Telugu film, Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule opposite Venkatesh directed by Selvaraghavan. She also has three Tamil films, Bheema with Vikram, Kireedam with Ajith and Sathyam with Vishal.However Vishal's next movie will be Malaikottai.


Although she had to face several flops and averages in the beginning and almost in all phases of her career, she was always successful enough and powerful enough-in personal level and industry level- to place her bright in the skies of the south Indian movie industry as a glittering star masking all the blemishes. But when compared to the huge hits in her bag her defeats are so tenuous that it doesn’t even appear on the screen of her life.

Her movie idols are Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks & Manisha Koirala and her favourite movies are ‘The English Patient’ and ‘Silence of the Lambs’. She loves music, reading and animals. And she remembers that the most unusual thing she ever tried is calling a spirit!

Trisha first made her debut in films when she was offered a small cameo in the film Jodi. However, the first movie in which she signed up to enact the role of the leading lady was Priyadarshan's Leysa Leysa. A string of flops marked the beginning of her career, such as Manasellam,and Alai. However she was well suited for her role opposite Surya in Mounam Pesiyadhe and won critical acclaim. She is well acclaimed for her facial expressions while acting.

She then played Vikram's lady love in the mega blockbuster Saamy. The next huge film she took part in followed immediately afterwards, was Ghilli with Vijay, which was a remake of Telugu blockbuster Okkadu.

In 2004, she starred in Varsham in Telugu which went on to become the biggest hit of the year and turned her into an overnight sensation. In 2005, she starred alongside Siddharth Narayan in the telugu flick Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana as the village girl Siri. The movie is about a rich boy, who tries to marry a girl - however her brother opposes. It is directed by Prabhu Deva, was successful at the box office [1] [2]. Trisha quoted that "'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' is the best entertainer that I have seen in my life"[3] and she won 2 awards for the film which include the Filmfare Award and Nandi Award.

Another film she was called up for was Mani Ratnam's Aayitha Ezhuthu which was remade into a hit Hindi movieYuva the Tamil version included Siddharth Narayan, Madhavan and Surya, which was the only time she dubbed herself for the film. Her later movies, Ji, Aathi and Aaru did not do well either - though Aaru was received well by critics and both dubbed in Tamil and Telugu and produced by Saran, who had previously directed several successful movies [4]. Her recent Telugu movie, Pournami, directed by Prabhu Deva, was also a flop. However, Something Something ... Unnakum Ennakum, where trisha acted opposite Jayam Ravi which released in 2006 did well at the box office. Something Something ... Unnakum Ennakum is a remake of the Telugu movie, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana where she plays the same role.

Her Telugu film, Sainikudu with Mahesh Babu released on November 30, 2006. There was high expectations in the trade circles from this film especially after the smashing hit Pokiri but this high budget film started off with a below average talk. Despite receiving bad talk from the film trade, the film managed to get a fantastic opening in India and overseas. The movie did very well abroad and is an average grosser.

Her next release after Sainikudu is Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule where she is cast opposite Venkatesh. This film is Selvaraghavan's first film in Telugu. The film released on April 27, 2007. The film is a family entertainer and received good response from the audience especially from the family audience. The collections of the film at the box office has been encouraging and the movie is a superhit, outrunning the collections of later releases like Aata and Munna. Krishnan's performance is one of the highlights of the movie.

In Kireedam with Ajith, Trisha has tried comedy and has received rave reviews. Kireedom opened with high expectations and received good reviews from media and audience. Her most recent film, Krishna with Ravi Teja, directed by V. V. Vinayak opened to rave reviews.
