These are the days when actresses are involved in other businesses too, apart from just standing in front of camera. This, they feel, would ensure that their financial position is safe and secured even after they bid adieu to acting,

The latest to join the actress-entrepreneur bandwagon is Bhanu. The Mollywood actress, who started her account in Kollywood with Vishal-starrer 'Thamirabharani', has started a beauty parlour in Kochi.

"My mother Shali is a trained beautician. So I decided to start a parlour under her administration. The outlet has been named Studio Revive and it would be a one-stop shop for all beauty needs," Bhanu says.

The actress, who was last seen in Tamil in SA Chandrasekar's 'Sattapadi Kuttram', adds: "The support is so overwhelming and we happy to serve our clients. There are expansion plans too, which we would take up soon."
