Avantika Sundar prepares for Tamil cinema debut
Avantika Sundar, daughter of Tamil cinema icons Sundar C and Khushbu, is preparing for her first film. After training at a drama school in London, she's carefully picking her debut script and wants to make an impact on her own terms—without relying on her parents' fame.
Respect for my own work: Avantika
Avantika has worked through stage fright and built up her acting skills abroad. She recognizes the doors that come with being from a film family but is clear about wanting to earn respect for her own work. She wants to be known for her work and not just for her parents.
Her story can inspire other star kids
Avantika's story blends legacy with personal drive—a combo many young people can relate to. Her choice to use family ties just for networking, while aiming to succeed independently, could inspire other star kids looking to carve their own path in the industry.
