Sreeleela becomes a doctor while building a film career
For many, choosing between medicine and cinema would be unavoidable. Sreeleela chose both. Born in Detroit and raised in Bangalore, she grew up in a medical family. Her mother, Dr Swarnalatha, is a well-known gynaecologist and infertility specialist. Inspired early on, Sreeleela had often spoken about wanting to become a doctor. Now, she has fulfilled that promise.
At the same time, her acting journey was taking off. After debuting as a lead in the Kannada film Kiss, she went on to star in successful films such as Pelli SandaD, Dhamaka, Bhagavanth Kesari, Guntur Kaaram, Junior and Pushpa 2: The Rule. Shooting schedules, dance rehearsals and script readings ran parallel to exams and clinical postings.
Even as Sreeleela gets her MBBS degree, her momentum in cinema shows no sign of slowing down. With several upcoming projects in hand, Dr Sreeleela is clearly ready to treat both patients and box office numbers with equal dedication.
