Actress Ranjitha who made her debut in Tamil cinema in 'Naadodi Thendral' directed by Bharathiraja and starring Karthick went on to act with top stars like Prabhu, Sathyaraj, Sarathkumar and Arjun among others.  Her last noticeable roles were as Vijay's wife in 'Villu' and Prabhu's in Mani Ratnam's 'Ravanan'.

In 2010 a video of Ranjitha in a compromising position with self proclaimed godman Nithyanandha went viral released by the latter's former devotee Lenin Karuppan.  Nithi had counter filed in the court that it is a fake video using morphing technology.  The Delhi Forensic Department which conducted tests on the video have concluded that it is indeed a orignal video and that the persons in it are Ranjitha and Nithi.  The case comes up for hearing on the 5th of December.
