UNVEILING PASANA

Encompassing a myriad of talents and skills, Upasana RC has managed to stand out amidst the glitz and glamour of the film industry by staying grounded to her pr inc ip les. Her remarkable performance in the thought-provoking film "Karuthukalai Pathivu Sei" has garnered tremendous acclaim, resonating deeply in the wake of the Pollachi sex scam. As the winner of the prestigious 'Elite Miss India Asia' pageant, this Vadodara-born beauty from a Bengali family has an inspiring journey to share, embodying resilience and determination.

1. What inspired you to become an actress, and how did you get into the film industry from being an engineering student?

Becoming an actress was never part of the plan. While studying engineering, I was also a member of a professional dance team. One day, there was an audition at our studio, and my team lead suggested I give it a try. I thought, why not? I auditioned and forgot about it. But a few months later, I received a callback. Balancing my studies, film shoots, and dance shows, I started shooting for the movie. It was only when the movie was about to release and press conferences were scheduled, that I revealed my acting aspirations to my parents. Initially skeptical, they agreed as long as I completed my graduation. After the movie was released, I received positive reviews, particularly from Times of India. Those reviews convinced my parents, and that's how my journey began.

2. Could you tell us about your experience working on the film "Traffic Ramasamy" and portraying the character of Fatima?
