Who is Neelakshi Singh?

Neelakshi Singh is a Chennai born actress. She started her professional career accidentally when on a holiday visit in 1965 to America, she suddenly chanced upon an audition taking place for a television serial. She auditioned and then got selected for the serial Many Stars. She then came back to Chennai and married Dr. Sivajit Singh and has three daughters and five grand children. She has done many South India films and telefilms. She has also acted in a film based on the life of Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi which was apparently stalled due to some controversial scenes and dialogues and is yet to be completed. According to news reports there were some lesbian scenes or kissing scenes in the film which were objected to by some political parties forcing the producer to put the film on hold.

She also runs a silver jewellery manufacturing unit in Sri Lanka and now exports her jewellery to various countries across the world. She is also a writer and has documented her essays in a book printed recently by the name of Neelakshi's Memoirs.

Neelakshi's grand daughter Anita Vinayak is now gearing up for her debut in South movies.
