In the film industry, numerous actresses have delivered hit films and shared the screen with top stars, yet only a few manage to leave a lasting impact. While some faced a string of flops, they still captured the audience's attention through their beauty, talent, and unique charm, eventually earning popularity despite setbacks. Today, we are going to talk about one such actress who significantly gave flops but yet managed to seek the attention of cinema-lovers with her talent. Here, we are talking about a Telugu actress who made her debut in 2021 with the romantic drama Pelli Sandadi , which did not receive much appreciation. Despite receiving negative reviews, she showcased her talent and led to further opportunities. In 2022, she starred in the Kannada romantic comedy By Two Love , where her performance was praised, although her Kannada pronunciation received huge backlash from the audience. Sreeleela's Interest In Dancing and… The actress was born on July 14, 2001, in United States and was raised in Bangalore, India. From a young age, she showed interest in dance and trained in Bharatanatyam, which helped shape her expressive abilities. While growing up, she balanced her passion for the arts with academics. Despite entering the film industry at a young age, Sreeleela pursued her studies seriously and enrolled in medical school and and after that, she got her MBBS degree from Bangalore Medical College. Sreeleela's Career In Telugu Cinema In the same year, she featured with Telugu superstar Ravi Teja in action-thriller flick Dhamaka .

One Item Song Changed The Fate Of Sreeleela Sreeleela got the opportunity to feature in an item song from 2024's humongous blockbuster Pushpa 2: The Rule. The song named Kissik featured Sreeleela and Allu Arjun in their groovy avatar, which completely broke all the records after its release. The song became huge hit just like the first part's peppy track Oo Antava, which changed course for Sreeleela as she got the offer from other industries. Sreeleela's Big Break Into… The actress is all set to feature with Kartik Aaryan, which will mark her debut in Bollywood. The film, tentatively titled Tu Meri Zindagi Hai helmed by Anurag Basu, is said to be based on backdrop of the iconic Aashiqui franchise, however, the makers have not confirmed this till date. The upcoming romantic-musical is all set for its grand release on the occasion of Deepawali on October 17, 2025.
