Sheela might have become the most successful actress in Malayalam cinema, but it was not a matter of a dream coming for her. “I became an actress, first on stage, because my mother asked me, because after my family’s death, my family ran into deep financial problems,” she says. “I was just 13 years old when I acted in my only game, which was inaugurated by MGR, who liked me and put me in my first film, PassamHe was the biggest star in Tamil at that time, but I did not know who he was, so I had no veins while acting with him.

What could a woman be praised for a woman?”

‘Painting a passion’

The painting has also been a passion for Sheela. “This is my third exhibition, and the last two people are also for charity,” she says. “I have been painting since my school days.”

Among the current crop of actors, Sheela enjoys watching Tulsi Joseph. She says, “The way I work,” she says. “And he was an actor I wanted to meet, and was happy to present him with an award.”
