Akhila Sasidharana became a prominent name in the Malayalam film industry after her successful debut in Kaaryasthan. Released in 2010 the film directed by Thomson and written by hit screenwriting duo Udaykrishna and Sibi K Thomas was a major blockbuster. Before her first film She garnered limelight following her participation in the television dance show Vodafone Thakkadhimi and also debuted as an anchor on the famous music reality show Munch Star Singer Junior. A trained classical dancer Akhila later appeared opposite Prithviraj in Teja Bhai and Family. Despite a promising start she soon disappeared from the film scene leading fans to wonder where she had been over a decade? The actor-dancer has finally broken silence on her absence from the films and what is she been up to following her brief stint in cinema. While speaking to a Malayalam YouTube channel Akhila said If you ask where I was I was always around; engaged in creative activities. Now that I’ve reappeared on social media people seem to have taken notice. We live in a time where your existence seems validated only by your presence online which may be why people kept asking where I had disappeared to. Addressing the reason regarding why she just disappeared after two films Akhila said There are many factors behind why certain films happen or don’t. Cinema is a collaborative process and a lot has to fall into place. Even after my two films I remained active appearing on several shows. Perhaps because there wasn’t another film release after those two people assumed I had disappeared. She also revealed that following her brief appearance in films she continued to work in Mumbai and followed her passion for arts. Though I started out as a Bharatanatyam dancer I also trained in Kathak and began performing it extensively. She noted. During the same conversation she also addressed her single status and why she hasnt been married yet. It just didn’t happen. That’s probably why I haven’t got married. And if you ask whether there’s any pressure to get married the answer is no. If marriage is merely to fill some void then I don’t feel that way. But if it’s to add something meaningful to life I would certainly consider it (someday). Akhila Sasidharana said.
