Disco Shanti is a veteran glamour actress in Tamil cinema and the eldest daughter of vintage actor Anandan. She was particularly famous in the South Indian film industry for her appearances in item numbers. Shanti worked with Silk Smitha many times and acted in her production.

Meanwhile, Disco Shanti's recent statement about Nayanthara has caused a stir on social media. In an interview, she said, "Costumes do not cast an actress in a negative light in any way. For example, Nayanthara wore a bikini in a scene in Ajith Kumar starrer 'Billa'. But even if viewed with a perverse mind, it will not be too glamorous to frown."

"Nayanthara was beautiful to look at. But some bring the whole body wrapped in clothes. When the dress is tight, it looks ugly. They dress very poorly," further Disco Shanti added. Her interview has now created controversy and caught the attention of the netizens on social media.
