Career

Sulochana was introduced to the film industry by director K. G. George at the age of 13. Even at that age she was very very tall, he gave her the name Anuradha. She was the tallest actress at that time. She started off as a heroine and later moved on to doing item numbers. Even with that imposing height, Anuradha could act in over 700 films, which is a great achievement even when most of her co-actors or heros were far shorter than her. She is trained in martial arts and she did her action roles perfectly without any dupe. She was an expert motorcycle rider, who rode Java, Enfield bullet and other motorcycles.

She was born into a Tamil speaking family to Krishna Kumar a choreographer and Saroja a hairdresser in Tamil movies. Her father is a Marathi and her mother belongs to Andhra.[1] Anuradha is married to Sathish Kumar, who was a dance director and they have two children Abhinayashree and Kalicharan.
