Born as Shanthi, she adopted the stage name of Reshma and made her debut with Kizhakku Mugam (1996) alongside Karthik. The success of the film meant she was signed on to appear in Kalanjiyam's Poomani (1996), and also briefly shot for Nandha featuring Ramki, which did not get completed.[2] Another film titled Aththai Ponnu alongside Vignesh was also shelved during shoot in 1997.[3]
Reshma also signed on to play the title role in Vennila to appear alongside Ajith Kumar, Vignesh and Amar Siddique.[1][4] Though the film began production works in 1996, it was duly delayed due to financial problems with the film finally releasing with the title Ennai Thalatta Varuvala in March 2003.[5]
Reshma married actor Hamsavardhan, her co-star from Vadagupatti Maapillai (2001). The couple had two sons and a daughter.[6]
