When Abhinaya Collects the Filmfare Award for the Best
debutant actress for Nadodigal, many couldn't believe that the actress was
speech and hearing impaired.
Continuing a dream run in tinseltown, the actress has now
been done more than 12 movies and 7 movies now in her hand. An amazingly superb
talent, born to act...
Abhinaya is an Indian film actress and model who is hearing and speech
impaired. She made her acting debut in Naadodigal (2009)
and went on to reprise the role in its Telugu and Kannada remakes. Abhinaya's
father played a security officer's role in the Telugu film Stalin, directed by A.
R. Murugadoss. Murugadoss noticed Abhinaya, who had accompanied her father,
and suggested her name to M.
Sasikumar. Sasikumar later cast her in Naadodigal,
which was directed by Samuthirakani. The success of Naadodigal and
critical acclaim for Abhinaya's performance led him to cast her in the Telugu
remake Shambo Shiva Shambo, while she was signed to
play the same role in its Kannada remake Hudugaru as
well. She won two Filmfare Awards for her performances inNaadodigal and Shambo
Shiva Shambo the following year. She was cast in an important role in Easan (2010)
directed by Sasikumar. In 2011, A.
R. Murugadoss signed her to play a supporting role alongside Suriya in
the flim 7aam Arivu. She is currently shooting for two
films, The Reporter that will mark her Malayalam
cinema debut and appeared in the Telugu film Dammu in which
she played the eldest sister of Jr. NTR's
character. She has also signed a film to be produced by Gautham
Menon and directed by Prabhu Deva's former assistant, Prem Sai.
Abhinaya is a beautiful teenager. When one looks at her,
one wouldn't know that she is a special child, a differently-abled one. Though
unable to hear and speak, Abhinaya emotes well. Abhinaya went on to model for
Reddy Labs, GMR, Ohri's to name a few (in Hyderabad). She showed all the
trappings of being a 'star' since the age of three.
A self-taught dancer and a fitness freak (does yoga),
Abhinaya is also a great movie buff who loved Black and the Tamil
film Mozhi. "She has mastered the laptop on her own and always wants
to keep herself busy," add her parents who have been the motivating force
behind Abhinaya.
