Until recent past, we seldom see a Tamil girl as heroine in Tamil cine industry and God knows why a Tamil girl is not getting a chance here. But now no one can say that we can’t find our native girls in the industry.

Once it happened that a reporter questioned Vijay why is he often pairing up with hotties from other states, apart from Trisha (who can speak fluent Tamil).

Vijay replied with a cold tone that, “If a good-looking Tamil girl, who can speak fluent Tamil turn into a heroine, I am ready to act with her. In our state girls hardly ever come into the limelight.”

Now-a-days industry is overflowing with talented Tamil girls as heroines. We have Monica (of ‘Silanthi’ fame), Karthiga (‘Thoothukudi’- who came as a puff of air through the song “Karuva Paiyaa”), Rukmani (‘Anandha Thandavam’), Shammu (‘Malayan’), Priya (‘Vamanan’) and many other native beauties.

Now a new girl is getting ready to enter this league. She is Shanthini! This Tamil ponnu is the lead lady of ‘Padithurai’ produced by Arya. Shanthini is also pairing opposite Shanthanu in ‘Sidhu’.

So, lame excuses for missing out our native beauties can’t be taken any longer… What say folks?
