Amala Paul (born October 26, 1991) is an Indian film actress, who works primarily in the Tamil film industry.
After appearing in supporting roles in a few low budget ventures, she
received critical acclaim for the portrayal of a controversial character
in the film,
Sindhu Samaveli. Despite the failure of that film, Amala became noted after playing the title role in
Mynaa,
receiving critical acclaim for her work. Since then, she has been
signed on for several notable projects and is considered the leading
upcoming actress in Tamil films.
Personal life
Amala was born on October 26, 1991 in Ernakulam, Kerala to Christian Malayali parents, Paul Varghese and Annice Paul.
After completing her Plus Two examinations at Nirmala Higher Secondary School, Aluva she took a sabbatical to begin a career in films, but has since joined St. Teresa's College in Kochi, to pursue a BA degree in English and is currently in her third year.
Her father had been strictly against Amala pursuing an acting career,
but was forced to accept her decision with her older brother, Abijith,
strongly backing her ambition.
She later claimed she had performing arts in her DNA, revealing that
her mother was a singer and her dad was into theatre in college. Amala had changed her on-screen name to Anakha, on director Samy's insistence, who cited that another actress, Amala had already made her name popular. However, after the failure of
Sindhu Samaveli, she reverted to her birth name since she felt that the replacement had brought her bad luck.
