Early life and background
Ramya Krishna was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu in a Tamil Iyer family whose mother tongue is Tamil and she is fluent in Telugu also. She is the niece of the ace comedian Cho Ramaswamy, an actor and outspoken politician. She had initial training in Bharathanatyam and Kuchipudi dance forms and has given many stage performances.
She is a relative of the veteran Tamil journalist Cho Ramaswamy.
Ramya Krishna started her acting career at the age of 13 and has been in the field for 19+ years. She first played the lead role in Vellai Manasu in Tamil opposite Y.G.Mahendran. She was studying in 8th standard when she acted in her first film.
Career
The south Indian actress has a long career spanning over two decades and 200+ films to her credit. She has portrayed a wide range of roles from that of an innocent village belle to a hip and happening female.
Ramyakrishnan's first Telugu film was Bhalae Mithrulu. Kasinadhuni Viswanath’s masterpiece Sutradharulu, released in 1987 have given first major break to Ramya as a actress. Under the direction of K.Raghavendra Rao Ramyakrishna established herself as a ‘star’ in Telugu film industry. She worked with all the major heroes of yester years like Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao, Krishna, Sobhan Babu and also with the next generation of heroes like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna Nandamuri, Venkatesh, Akkineni Nagarjuna and Jagapathi Babu. Though a trained Bharatnatyam dancer, she never really got a chance to explore that facet of her.
Her Tamil film Padayappa (Narasimha in Telugu) have brought her recognition and fame not only in South India but also internationally in Japan, Singapore, London and Paris. Her role in Padayappa was perhaps the best role of her career and disproved her critics who said that she was a mere glam doll.Recently she gaven performance in some stage shows in New York, Dallas, San Jose, and Cincinnati along with Nagarjuna and Tabu.
She bagged only one prestigious Nandi Awards from the Government of Andhra Pradesh,
Ramya have also enjoyed success in Kannada movies. In fact one of her earliest movie roles was in the Kannada fim Krishna Rukmini with Vishnuvardhan. Her biggest Kannada hits include Gadibidi Ganda and Mangalyam Thanthunanaena with Ravichandran and Raktha Kanneeru with Upendra.
Personal life
The actress married noted Telugu film director Krishna Vamsi on June 12, 2003[1]and has since then settled in Hyderabad. She gave birth to a boy, named Ritwik on February 13, 2005.
