Aishwarya Rajesh is a Tamil film actress, who has appeared in leading roles. After winning the reality show Maanada Mayilada, she made her debut in Avargalum Ivargalum (2011) and became known after starring in Attakathi (2012) portraying the role of Amudha.

Career

Aishwarya's father Rajesh was an actor who had appeared in 50 films in Telugu. Her grandfather Amarnath too acted in lead roles, while her aunt Srilakshmi, is a Telugu comedy actor with over 500 films to her credit.[1]

She studied at Ethiraj College for Women and graduated with a B.Com degree.[2] She started to learn dance since she needed to choreograph a stage show for a student cultural fest and later entered the reality show Maanada Mayilada on Kalaignar TV. She won the show's third season and got offered roles in films thereafter.[1]

Aishwarya made her debut in the 2011 film Avargalum Ivargalum, playing one of the lead roles,[3][4] which was followed by minor roles in S. A. Chandrasekhar's Sattapadi Kutram and Vilayada Vaa.[5] She appeared in the 2012 cult film, Attakathi, portraying the character of Amudha.[1] She also acted in the films Aachariyangal and Puthagam, in which she was paired opposite Sanjay Bharathi.[6]

In 2014, she was seen alongside Vijay Sethupathi in two films, Rummy, and Pannaiyarum Padminiyum, released within two weeks. While the first film was a village drama set in the 1980s, the latter was based on a short film of the same name, and revolved around an old man and his vintage car Premier Padmini.[7][8] Critics praised her performances, especially in Rummy.[9][10] Hindustan Times wrote that she was "extremely promising"[11] while film critic Baradwaj Rangan noted that she was "expressive", calling her "a tonic for nerves frayed by the alabaster automatons we usually get as heroines".[12][13] Later that year, she appeared in a song sequence in R. Parthiepan's Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam and as the female lead in Thirudan Police.[14]

Aishwarya's first release in 2015 was Kaaka Muttai. Her portrayal of a slum dweller and mother of two children was lauded by critics. Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "it features stunning performances from everyone...especially Aishwarya Rajesh, who plays the kids' mother with a world-weariness that belies her years".[15] Other reviewers stated that she was "excellent",[16] played her role with "with extraordinary ease" [17] and that she "leaves you awe-struck".[18][19] That year, she also made her the stage debut, playing Cinderella from the same-titled fairytale that was adapted as a "musical dance drama".[20][21]

As of late 2015, she is working simultaneously on multiple upcoming projects. She has completed filming for Seenu Ramasamy's Idam Porul Yaeval,[22] in which she portrays a patti mandram (debate) speaker,[23] Kutramum Thandanaiyum that sees her collaborating with Kaaka Muttai director Manikandan and the horror comedy film Hello Naan Pei Pesuren, in which she plays a tele-shopping sales girl.[23][24] Aaradhu Sinam, a remake of the Malayalam film Memories,[25] and newcomer Bhuvan Nullan's Mo.[26][27]
