She then went on to add, “Even with all the appreciation for all the characters I’ve played so far, I was still looking for a real breakthrough. That moment came with Kudumbasthan. My first blockbuster! I’ve been acting since 2017 and this film gave me everything I was waiting for. The love and respect I continue to receive from makkal, from theatres to OTT, across Tamil Nadu and beyond, is truly special.”

“Right now, I’m working with two amazing teams, super filmmakers, technicians and co-actors. Two films are coming this year, 2026. Idhuvum oru beginning maadri iruku (This too looks like a beginning). Nandri to everyone associated with Kudumbasthan. Grateful always. Especially to my wonderful team @rajeshwarkaliswamy @vinoths_offl @iam_prasannabalachandran @manikabali87 @vaisaghh @nivedita.rajappan @guru_somasundaram @sujithnsubramaniam and the whole team. And my family and friends like family,” she said.

The film, which featured actors Manikandan and Saanve Megghana in the lead and which revolved around the travails of a middle-class family man in today’s world, continued to do well in theatres, despite its OTT release on March 7 last year.
