Early life
Trisha was born and raised in Chennai (then known as
Madras) into a Tamil Iyer
family, whose ancestors hailed from the Palakkad region of Kerala. She completed schooling at the Sacred Heart
Matriculation School in Church Park, Chennai,and later pursued a Bachelor
of Business Administration (BBA) course at the Ethiraj
College for Women (Chennai). She ventured into modeling and appeared
in several print and television commercials. In 1999, she won the "Miss
Salem" beauty pageant, and later the same year, the Miss Madras contest. She had also won the Miss India 2001 pageant's "Beautiful
Smile" award.
Trisha had aspired to become a criminal
psychologist initially, and resisted the thought of pursuing acting,
as she wanted to complete her studies first. She also appeared in Falguni Pathak's music video Meri
Chunar Ud Ud Jaye as Ayesha Takia's
friend. She was later approached for an acting role in Tamil movie Lesa Lesa by Indian film director Priyadarshan, which marked the beginning of
her professional career as an actress. During her college course, she had
occupied herself with a tight shooting schedule, which made it difficult to
continue with her education.However, she compensated by attending summer classes.
Film career
1999–2003
Soon after her pageant success, Trisha began her acting career in an
uncredited role as Simran's
friend in Jodi. The
first project she accepted was the Priyadarshan-directed Lesa Lesa, with the promotional
posters for the film, also creating an offer to star in the A. R. Rahman musical hit, Enakku 20 Unakku 18
(2003).However both the projects' releases were severely delayed, and her first
release was Ameer's Mounam Pesiyadhe opposite Surya Sivakumar. The film became a moderate
success at the box office and managed to gain credentials for Trisha, with
critics claiming that she was "undoubtedly a refreshing new find, with
sparkling eyes and appealing demeanour", also going onto praise the
dubbing artiste, Savitha Reddy, who has since regularly dubbed for Trisha. Manasellam, her second project, saw
her play a cancer patient; but the film went unnoticed despite positive reviews
for the film and the actress.
Her subsequent release was the Hari-directed police film, Saamy
with Vikram. She
played a soft-spoken college-going brahmin girl and received positive
feedbacks for her performance, with Sify's reviewer citing that she was
"appealingly sensual" and looked "glamorous", and another
critic writing that she looked "very pretty" and suited the role. The
masala flick
became the biggest blockbuster of the year,grossing 16 crores, and landed
Trisha new offers, including several high-budget productions. Lesa Lesa,
which was supposed to be her debut, released next. The romantic musical, based
on the 1998 Malayalam film Summer in Bethlehem,fetched
generally positive reviews. Following Lesa Lesa, she appeared in Alai which proved unsuccessful at the
box office.Then released her Enakku 20 Unakku 18 which was
unsuccessful commercially but was a well noticed movie because of its music and
visuals and helped her career
2004–07
In 2004, she debuted in the Telugu cinema
industry with M. S. Raju's
romance-action film Varsham, which
turned her into an overnight sensation. Critics lauded her performance as
Sailaja, a middle-class girl who becomes a film star on her father's
insistence; Jeevi from Idlebrain claimed that she was "beautiful" and
a "big plus to the film", labelling her performance as
"natural", while Sify noted that she had "transformed herself
into a fine actress with immense screen presence". A critic from
fullhyderabad.com praised her, citing that she had shown why Tamil Nadu was
"busy building her a temple", further adding that she looked "so
fresh and fine, you feel like gifting her to the roses". While
the film was highly commercially successful, running for over 175 days theatres,
being declared a "sensational hit" and becoming one of the
highest-grossers of the year, Trisha was given the Telugu
Filmfare, as well as the Santosham
Award for Best Actress. She was also offered the same role in its
Tamil remake Mazhai, which she however declined.
Later that year, she enacted the female lead opposite Vijay in the action comedy film Ghilli. She essayed the character of Dhanalakshmi,
a helpless girl, whom a kabaddi player tries to save from the clutches of an
influential thug, who wants to marry her, with most critics agreeing that her
performance was overshadowed by Vijay and Prakash Raj's in particular.The film
eventually emerged the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year, celebrating a
175-days-run, too, and remains Trisha's biggest commercial success so far. She
next appeared in a small role in Mani Ratnam's political drama Aayutha Ezhuthu, starring as part of
an ensemble cast that included Siddharth, Madhavan and Surya. The film, despite favorable reviews,
performed poorly at the box office, while she was again outshone by the three
lead male actors.
In the following two years, Trisha had twelve releases overall, which all
but one featured her as the female lead. She was part of two male-oriented
action-masala flicks Thirupaachi and
Aaru, directed by Perarasu and Hari, which both offered only limited roles
for her,with the former becoming a major commercial success. In her second
Telugu project, the sentimental drama Nuvvostanante
Nenoddantana, she starred alongside Siddharth. The film, being Prabhu Deva's directorial debut, opened to rave reviews,
with Trisha receiving unanimous praise for her portrayal as the village girl
Siri, which earned her three Best Actress prizes, including her second
consecutive Filmfare Award and her first Nandi Award.Idlebrain noted that she was
"just great. Her tender looks, innocent face and Telugu traditional
costumes make her a treat to watch", further labelling her expressions and
"naughty antics" as excellent, while Sify wrote of Trisha that she
was "amazing as Siri [...] It is her career best performance and she has
excelled throughout." The film eventually secured eight Southern Filmfare
Awards, the most ever by any Telugu film, while also emerging highly
successful at the box office. Trisha later went on to reprise the role in its
Tamil remake as well. Her subsequent releases, N. Lingusamy's Ji and Aathi,
which saw her pairing with Ajith Kumar and Vijay, respectively, were both critical and
economical failures, while Aaru was a moderate success and was
received well by critics. The successes of Varsham and Nuvvostanante
Nenoddantana led to Trisha being casted in the third consecutive M. S.
Raju film, with the producer stating that she was "one of the most
talented and beautiful actress I have ever worked with", going on to draw
comparisons to the works of Savitri, Nargis and Sophia Lauren.The film, Pournami, directed by Prabhu Deva
again, featured her in the titular role alongside a star cast and bombed at the box office. Her sole Tamil
release of 2006, Unakkum
Enakkum, the remake of Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana,
where she acted opposite Jayam Ravi, did
well at the box office. She starred in the Telugu film Stalin with Chiranjeevi, following which her Telugu
film Sainikudu with Mahesh Babu was released.
Her next release was Aadavari
Matalaku Ardhalu Verule where she was cast opposite Venkatesh.
The film, Selvaraghavan's
first Telugu venture, was a family entertainer and received good response
especially from the family audience. Trisha's performance was critically
acclaimed and won her accolades, eventually resulting in her third Filmfare
win. In Kireedam
with Ajith Kumar, Krishnan tried comedy and
received rave reviews. Kireedam opened with high expectations and received
good reviews from media and audience and was declared a success. Her 2008
films, Bheema and Kuruvi failed to succeed at the box-office.
2008–present
Trisha at the special screening of her debut Bollywood movie Khatta Meetha
in 2010
Krishna
with Ravi Teja, opened to rave reviews, and
became a blockbuster. Her other release Bujjigadu starring Prabhas, directed by Puri Jagannadh was released during Summer
and made a decent run. However Radhamohan's Abhiyum Naanum became a super hit and
Trisha was praised for her performance. King starring
Akkineni Nagarjuna
directed by Sreenu Vaitla
was a December release and it became a blockbuster. In 2009 her film Sarvam with Arya did not do well and became just an
average grosser.
Trisha had a major role, starring as a Syrian Christian
Malayali girl Jessie, in Gautham Menon's 2010 Tamil romantic drama
film Vinnaithaandi
Varuvaayaa, which was a big commercial success at the box
office. The film is based on a complicated relationship between a Syrian
Christian Malayali girl and a Tamil Hindu assistant director, who falls
in love with her, only to be met by her indifference and reluctance as they
belong to different religions and her strict conservative family will never
consent to their marriage. Her performance was well appreciated by critics,
earning her the 2010 Vijay
Award for Favourite Heroine. Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff
commented, "Trisha is a revelation. Shorn of her filmi make-up, she
dazzles in Nalini Sriram's simple costumes."Sify remarked, "Trisha
looks good and delivers her career best performance in a knock-out role."
Her 2010 Telugu release Namo Venkatesa, opposite Venkatesh,
was a super hit. In the same year, she starred in Manmadhan Ambu with Kamal Haasan and R. Madhavan and it became an above average
grosser.
Trisha made her debut in Hindi film industry with the Priyadarshan film Khatta Meetha,
starring opposite Akshay Kumar.
Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics and Box Office India
declared it an average performer at the box office.Her next release Theenmaar with Pawan Kalyan, which released in April 2011
became a blockbuster. Her latest release is Ajith Kumar's magnum-opus Mankatha which released on 31 August
2011 to positive reviews and has become one of her biggest blockbusters till
date.
She also has signed up to do Bodyguard
in Telugu opposite Daggubati Venkatesh.The
film is a remake of the Malayalam Bodyguard. She recently signed a
film opposite Vishal, Samaran, which is planned to be a 2012
release.
Other work
and recognition
In 2010, Trisha collaborated with People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in issuing a public
appeal to domesticate stray dogs rather than craving for pedigreed foreign
breeds. She was also the Goodwill Ambassador for the "Angel for
Animals" campaign organized by PETA in 2010, encouraging people to adopt
homeless dogs. PETA praised Trisha for her work, and sent her an appreciation
letter highlighting her animal rescue work and efforts to encourage people to
adopt Indian community dogs.In 2011, she won the 2010 NDTV Indian of
the Year award under the Southern Star of the Year category.
Trisha replaced Rani Mukherjee
as the brand ambassador of Fanta India. She is the
brand ambassador of Scooty Pep+, for which she has replaced Preity Zinta. She is also the brand
ambassador for Vivel Di Wills, a product by ITC Limited. In 2011, She replaced Asin
in Fairever fairness cream commercial.
Controversies
Trisha was the subject of a controversy in 2004 when a two and a half minute
video clip allegedly of her taking a shower in the nude circulated over the
Internet. She, however, denied her appearance in the clip, saying, "It was
not me in the 2½ minute bathing video clip and someone who wants to malign my
name has done this on purpose." In fact, the clip, which purports to have
been shot from a hidden camera, makes it clear the subject, who often makes eye
contact with the camera and engages in exaggerated pelvic gestures, knew she
was being filmed. This makes it unlikely to be Trisha. In any case, she later
filed a complaint with the Chennai Police Commissioner.Subsequently, the Editor
of the Tamil weekly Netrikkan was arrested by Chennai Police for
publishing the nude screenshots of the video in the weekly.
In 2010, she was involved in a drug scandal controversy in Hyderabad, when a
report on a Telugu channel claimed that Trisha's name was included with other
top celebrities in the list of clients of Chima Clement, a Nigerian drug
peddler, arrested in Hyderabad. Her name featured in the list because the
channel assumed fashion designer Sidney Sladen, a close friend of Trisha of
African origin, to be the Nigerian drug peddler. She declared the scandal as an
attempt to malign her name in the Telugu film industry. She also sued the channel
for dragging her name into the scandal.
Personal
life
Trisha resides in Chennai with her parents and grandmother.Her mother tongue
is Tamil, and she converses fluently in Hindi, French, and English. Her mother
Uma Krishnan, had been offered various roles by several Tamil film makers and
actors including Kamal Hassan, but turned them down, as she wanted to
concentrate on Trisha's career. She accompanies Trisha on film shoots, events,
and functions, and they have appeared together only in a commercial advertisement.
About her relationship with her mother, Trisha remarks, "She has been the
pillar of my strength and has stood by me like a rock through thick and
thin.[...] Everyone in the industry and my friends know how close I'm to my
mom."
