Remember that naughty little girl who nearly played with our emotions through Mani Ratnam’s 'Kannathil Muththamittal’? Who will deny if we say she was indeed a peck on our cheeks? And this impish-angle is not the same now! She has grown-up into a teen with lot of talents inherited from her star parents.

Keerthana, the daughter of versatile actor R. Parthiban is now a visual communication student in Loyola College. Not just this, she is also learning western music in AR Rahman’s music school. "My daughter is very much fascinated by cinema just like me, but for a small change. She is not paying attention in on screen success however, she is engrossed with music and direction”, says the proud father.

So, now it’s time for the rise of another star-kid. And we might have to expect the entry of a Parthiban product in direction this time!
