Gone are the days of demure heroines who would
be more than happy to be seen as close to heroes.
Girls today are more confident and can hold
their own in tinseldom. A recent example has
been the teenager Sandhya, who created waves
last year as the heroine of Kadhal, paired opposite
Bharath. She looked every bit the part of the
school-going girl who elopes with her lover.
Her expressive eyes could convey the emotions
and innocence of adolescence. The helplessness
in the climax was superbly portrayed by her.
After this film, she has been receiving steady
offers and has been careful about choosing her
roles.
