Career
Sri Divya started her career at the age of three and has acted as a child artist in nearly ten Telugu films.[2] She has also acted in Telugu television serials.[3][4]
She made her debut as a heroine in the 2010 Telugu romance film Manasara, directed by Ravi Babu, but the film was a failure.[2] Then she featured in the film Bus Stop (2012) directed by Maruthi, co-starring Prince, which was successful at the box office.[5] It was followed by Mallela Theeram Lo Sirimalle Puvvu in which she played a lonely wife who falls in love with a writer.[6] About her performance, The Hindu wrote, "she looks very charming; the cotton saris bring out the grace in her".[7] Idlebrain.com wrote, "Sri Divya epitomizes the character of an idealistic and independent woman. She did well and deserves applause".[8]
Her Tamil debut was Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam opposite Siva Karthikeyan, which was directed by Ponram. Sri Divya received very positive reviews from critics for her performance.[9] Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "the actress is good. She knows the language, knows how to work a reaction shot, and she looks like she belongs in this milieu. It will be interesting to see what Tamil cinema makes of her".[10] The Times of India wrote, "But the real surprise is debutant Sri Divya, who, is expressive, and can lip-sync very well, which isn't the case with most of our heroines today".[11] The New Indian Express wrote, "As Latha, debutant Sridivya emotes well, infusing the character with innocence, charm and naughtiness".[12]
Her upcoming films are Kaatu Malli, which was her first Tamil film,[14] and Nagarpuram.[15] She has also been signed up for the films Pencil,[16] and Eetti.[17]
