Career

After making a debut as the younger version of Anju's character in Vasanth's Keladi Kanmani (1990), Neena appeared in Selva's serial drama, Neela Mala.[1] Despite garnering offers to star in films, Neena refused several chances to appear in leading roles, before signing on to star in K. Balachandar's production Vidukathai (1997) directed by Agathiyan.[2] Her performance in the film won critical acclaim upon release, with a reviewer noting her "acting is excellent" and that she "brings out every aspect of the character she is playing, especially the clear-cut deliveries of her dialogues emphasizing the inner strength of the character".[3] After a few more film roles, she returned to prioritise television roles, appearing in dramas such as Chithi. In 2004 she got married and settled in Melbourne, Australia. She has 2 children Sonia and Sanjay.
