She learnt Kuchipudi dance as a child, but took it up full-time when she found the right guru. Her dance debut and marriage both happened at the same time. She gave 40 performances in the USA.[3]
When she was in a film shoot she met with an accident where the car was tilted over and boiling water from the radiator spilled onto her legs. She suffered from those burns for nearly two months. She has mentioned this in a Telugu television Talk show called Alitho Saradaga [4] which telecasts on ETV.
