It is always difficult to shrug off the 'jinxed actress' tag in filmdom.

Actress Sridevi Vijayakumar should know as she is being labeled one.

After her movies Kadhal Virus and Thithikudahe failed at the box-office, she was hastily branded as a jinxed actress in Tamil filmdom.

But Sridevi says it is wrong to summarily dismiss somebody like that.

"Just because a couple of my movies took a beating a beating at the box office, I cannot be called so".

She adds, "I have proved my acting mettle in both the movies and my performance in the recent release Devadhaiyay Kandein too have won me accolades."

Sridevi has a point when she says that people perhaps expect a lot from her.

"People expect a lot since my parents (Vijayakumar and Manjula Vijayakumar) have won great laurels in the industry. My two sisters have also been actresses. I am still in my infant stage in the industry and one has to wait sometime before making it big".

Sridevi takes comfort from the fact that bigger names have also had to endure the same predicament.

"Sons of veteran film personalities like Shivaji Ganesan, Muthuraman, Shiva Kumar and S A Chandrasekhar did not achieve success in their first few movies", she says.

I am not a jinxed actress. I will certainly make it big, Sridevi says confidently.
