Lavanya Tripathi may have debuted in Telugu almost 10 years ago, but she still continues to be one of the busiest female actors around. If we don't see her often on the silver screen, it's most certainly because she has set for herself the highest standards; therefore, being choosy is what she loves. From supporting inspiring films like 'A1 Express' to playing a widow in a movie (read 'Chaavu Kaburu Challaga') directed by a newcomer, the actress has been doing it all nearly 10 years after she became Tollywood's most sought-after ethereal beauty with the arrival of 'Andala Rakshasi'.

From playing semi-glamorous roles to a go-to girl who has a meaty part in the story ('Antariksham 9000 KMPH' and 'Arjun Suravaram'), Lavanya has been versatile, spot-on and sincere. She is now looking forward to making a splash in a surreal action comedy-thriller, which is directed by 'Mathu Vadalara' fame Ritesh Rana and presented by the top banner Mythri Movie Makers. Titled 'Happy Birthday', the film has Lavanya in a fabulous, author-backed role. What makes this choice appropriate is that Lavanya, even offscreen, loves to make others laugh. So, a comedy role in 'Happy Birthday' is a God-send for her.

The success of 'Bhale Bhale Mogadivoy' and 'Soggade Chinni Nayana' changed the graph of her career for good years ago. The 'Doosukeltha' actress, who was formerly a model, has also been a smart and ethical endorser of brands, picking only those products that mean something for her.

As the talented actress turns a year older, IndiaGlitz wishes her a riveting, exciting and thrilling year ahead!
