Early years

Sudha Rani was born to Gopalakrishna and Nagalakshmi. She is the niece of popular film personality, Chi. Udaya Shankar and the cousin of actor-director Chi. Guru Dutt. She began modelling in print ads at the age of three. Her mother enrolled her in dance classes at age five. Rani is a Kuchipudi and Bharata Natyam dancer. At age 7, she was roped in by her brother for his short film based on children, titled as Child is Here which won an international award. She also actively participated in the children shows at the Prabhat Kalavidaru theatre troupe.

Film career

Rani was noticed by the spouse of actor Rajkumar in a thread ceremony video when she was 12 and selected to be the heroine of the film Anand (1986) opposite Shiva Rajkumar. They became a popular pair and she went on to appear in more films as Mana Mechchida Hudugi, Samara, Aasegobba Meesegobba, Anna Tangi, and Midida Shruthi opposite Shiva Rajkumar. She was paired with Ramesh Aravind in over eight films, including Panchama Veda, Shrigandha, Aragini, Ganda Mane Makkalu, Varagala Bete, Balondu Chaduranga, Accident and Anuraga Sangama. Rani dominated the Kannada film industry in the 1990s. Her Tamil films Annakili Sonna Kathai and Vasanthakala Paravai, proved to be commercial successes. She acted in almost 10 Tamil films and was credited as 'Shali'.

Personal life

At the peak of her career, Rani married a U.S.-based anesthesia specialist, Dr. Sanjay based the US. However citing irreconcilable differences, they parted ways.[3] Later, she married her relative, Govardhan[4] and has a daughter Nidhi, born in 2001.[5][6]

Awards

Rani was twice awarded the Karnataka State Award for Best Actress: in 1988 for the film Panchama Veda and in 1991 for Mysore Mallige. For the latter film, she also won the Filmfare Best Actress Award. She lives in Bangalore and is actively involved in the films and art industry carefully picking her projects. She is widely respected as a judge of talent competitions and as an actress who has matured with age. She is very selective about the films that she signs.
