Early and Personal life

[edit]

Renuka was born on 3 November 1983 in Alappuzha and also she pursued her Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Thrissur.[11]She got married to Suraj Menon, a software engineer based in US on 21 November 2006, with whom she has two daughters Swathi & Anika.[12] After her marriage, she had stopped her acting and now runs a dance school in California.[13][14]

Career

[edit]

In 2005, Menon entered the Tamil and Kannada film industries, through the films February 14, alongside Bharath, and News opposite Upendra,[15][16] respectively. Later that year, she starred in another Tamil film, Daas alongside Jayam Ravi.[17] However, none of the films succeeded. In 2006, she acted in the Malayalam film Vargam, pairing up with Prithviraj again after Meerayude Dukhavum Muthuvinte Swapnavum in 2003, which was an average grosser, following which, she appeared in the Tamil film Kalabha Kadhalan opposite Arya and in the multi-starrer Pathaaka. Her film Madhan, directed by actor Jai Akash, starring himself and Sunaina, has been pending for a long time and was expected to release in late 2009 after years-long delay.[citation needed]
