NAMITA GUPTA
The Many Shades of Sheeleela

She may be a stunner on and off screen, but she’s also got her head firm on her shoulders. Sreeleela has mastered the art of juggling her studies as well as her flourishing career in the South Indian Film Industry. One can often find her reading her medical books on the sets of her films! From playing interesting characters in Kiss, Bharaate, Pelli Sandad, Dhamaka, Anaganaga Oka Raju, Dubari and more, she has a whole lot of interesting projects lined up for release.

1. Where did you study? How did you enter the film industry?

Since my childhood I’ve always had a very busy schedule. After school I’d hop from dance class to Veena class to swimming class to tuition! I always had to be on my toes and I’ve always loved it. I am from Bangalore and most of my education was in Bangalore too. As a child, I’d say I was very sorted, I always knew what I wanted. From LKG itself, I’d introduce myself saying “Hi my name is Sreeleela. I’m going to be a doctor when I grow up and I also love arts.” I was pretty clear about that from back then and now I’m on my journey of pursuing both!

2. Were there any apprehensions entering the field of cinema?

Yes, just like in any other household, we did have a couple of apprehensions when I was first offered a film. But it was my grandfather who supported it first! I asked him if it was okay if I got into movies and after a little thinking he gave me a green flag! But he told me that I had to complete my education. So right now, I’m finishing my MBBS while also acting in films.

3. How do you balance both the worlds?
