Karthiga, the half-saree girl

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,June 17 2008]

Western attire seems to be a far-flung desire for young actress Karthiga. All the filmmakers who approach her for roles offer her characters that need to dress up either in half sarees or the South Indian traditional skirt worn by young girls.

'Right from my debut film 'Thoothukudi' and till now, all the characters I play need me to dress up in half sarees. But I am not upset with it', says Karthiga.

Karthiga is currently playing one of five heroines for the film 'Raman Thediya Seethai'. She is the heroine for a film titled 'Vaidehi' that features Pandiarajan's son Prithivi as hero. The film was earlier titled 'Machaan'.

She would also be seen as a village belle in the film 'Alaiyodu Villayadu'

Offers keep pouring in and with every offer comes the half-saree too.
