Trisha Krishnan, Model of the Month



When girls her age are still trying to grapple with acne, Trisha is out walking a ramp, sporting some amazing outfits . To say that she is charming would be playing down a lot of this taurean's personality.Her light brown eyes and glorious smile speak volumes, but they don't outdo her sharp intellect. Trisha was crowned Miss Chennai for the year 2000. On the professional front, she has already done a couple of advertisements including Lalitha Jewellers and Kumaran Silks .

Trisha hopes to wait a couple of years before competing for the Femina Miss India crown, her best bet for the famed Miss Universe title . One would be astonished to learn that this belle is just out of school . And yet she has a certain maturity about her.

She is a talented ballet dancer and an expert swimmer. Trisha enjoys all the attention that she gets. And she herself idolises Claudia Schiffer, Aishwariya Rai and Madhu Sapre. Sapre is her favourite.

Trisha - Beauty queen, model, actress


She may be a debutant in films, but Trisha is not new to glamour or the arch lights. For, she has acted in quite a few commercials, and has endorsed numerous products. And she has also won the Ms. Chennai crown and the Ms. Beautiful title at the Ms. India Pageant. It's but natural that she would be wooed by film makers. Trisha who said no to many offers couldn't resist the one that came from ace director Priyadarshan. She signed his 'Leysa Leysa' with Shaam as her pair. And since then she has signed four films in quick succession, even before a single film in which she acts has been released. A profile of the beauty-queen and model-turned-actress and some little known facts about her.

Trisha's ancestors hail from Palghat, and her mother is from Mumbai. Trisha is a Chennaite, born and brought up here, with her schooling done at Church Park Convent. A third year student of BBA at Ethiraj College, Chennai, Trisha's touch with glamour began when she took part in the fashion show at Salem where she was judged 'Ms. Salem Steel City' in 1999. The same year she took part in the 'Ms. Chennai' contest, and won the crown. And in 2001 at the Ms. India beauty pageant, Trisha bagged the title for 'Ms. Beautiful Smile'.

It was not long before film-makers made a beeline to her door. Though Trisha rejected these offers, one which she could not decline was Priyadarshan's offer to play the lead in his 'Leysa Leysa' with Shaam as her leading man. It was the remake of a successful Malayalam film, and the role was one which any debutant would wish for. And of course there was Priyadarshan, one of Trisha's favourite directors. Soon the actress was flooded with offers and selected some of those she found challenging. A rare case where a debutant signs five films even before a single one is released!

Name: Trisha Krishnan (Trisha means 'success' in Russian).

Date of Birth: May 4, 1983.
