Celebrating her birthday on May 4th, actress Trisha Krishnan stands as a significant figure in both the Tamil and Telugu film industries, boasting a noteworthy journey and achievements. Rising to prominence after winning the 1999 Miss Chennai pageant, Trisha’s debut in the Tamil romantic drama “Jodi” marked the beginning of her illustrious career. She further solidified her presence with acclaimed performances in commercially successful films like “Saamy” (2003), “Ghilli” (2004), and “Aaru” (2005) in Tamil cinema, and “Varsham” (2004), “Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana” (2005), and “Athadu” (2005) in Telugu cinema, earning her three Filmfare Awards for Best Actress in Telugu films.
Notably, Trisha Krishnan’s remuneration places her in a league of her own, surpassing her peers in terms of earning potential.
