Lakshmy Ramakrishnan (born 29 December 1965) is an Indian actress and director who predominantly works in Tamil and Malayalam films. [1] She made her debut in the Malayalam film Chakkara Muthu (2006), and has since appeared primarily in supporting roles in Tamil films.
Lakshmy was born and raised in a Tamil Brahmin family in Palakkad, Kerala. She got engaged at the age of 16 and got married when she was 18 years old. [2]
Ramakrishnan ran an event management business in Muscat, Oman from 1992 to 2001, before returning to India and acting and directing films. [3] Director A. K. Lohithadas offered her a supporting role in his next film. Karu Pazhaniappan's Pirivom Santhippom (2008) in which she played the character of Sneha's mother was her first Tamil film, [4] following which she played supporting roles in numerous films. She portrayed an angry mother who wants to avenge her daughter's death in Mysskin's Yuddham Sei (2011). [5] [6] [7] [8] She also tonsured her head for the "once-in-a-lifetime role". [9] [10]
In 2012, she completed her first feature film, Aarohanam , [4] acclaimed for the sensitive portrayal of mental illness, [11] which received a Special Jury award at the 7th Vijay Awards. [12] Her 4th directorial venture, House Owner , has been selected as one of the only two Tamil movies to be screened at the flagship component of the IFFI, Indian Panorama (Goa, 2019).
