Hi and WELCOME! I am Mini Richard. I was brought in to this big beautiful world by a Middle Class family in the state of Kerala just outside of Kottayam. My Dad was a School Teacher and Mom was a housewife. I have 2 brothers and as the only girl I was always treated pretty well. Oh who am I kidding? I was actually pretty spoiled.
At a young age I started learning dance and music. During my early school years I entered and performed in numerous Dance and Drama competitions. While I didn’t always win, I didn’t always lose either . J This is something I enjoyed very much and even as a youngster I was bristling with confidence.
I continued my schooling and music education and even studied a great deal under the wonderful tutelage of the master Jayan K. Jayan. To this day he remains a valued personal friend whom I see on a regular basis.
Moved to the USA at a young age and continued my studies Completing my degrees in Business and Internet Marketing. It was during this time that I met my husband and the Love of my life. As a self starting go getter I am always looking for the next challenge. Always looking for the next fun task. While I did receive a lot of criticism for marrying a foreigner, I have no regrets. I believe he is the best thing that has happened to my life and to use the movie line “He completes me.” He supports me in anything I want to do in my life.
I have two really smart and handsome boys that I love dearly. They are also a huge source of support for me. They are my stars and they love me unconditionally.
In my 30’s I finally started doing some modeling and acting. People were always asking why I started late and I explained to them that in my life this is was the right time for me. Acting was one of my dreams gowning up and I believe I am more mature and wiser than I was in my 20s. A few years back I landed my first role in a Telugu movie as a dance teacher, It was just a small role, but it boosted my confidence even more and gave me the courage to do my first Malayalam movie Parinkimala. It was an awesome experience. Right after Parinkimala began shooting I signed on for a Tamil movie called Ivan Chirairanjeevi that was shot in the Himalayas. That was a fabulous once in a life time experience.
I started My Facebook page 6 years ago just hoping to connect with family and friends. After posting a few cute shots I started getting all kinds a little attention from fans. I enjoyed every bit of it and since I never was a shy person I have really come to enjoy the daily interaction with the fans. For my critics there is a HUGE difference between sexy pictures and glamour shots. When people do criticize me about sexy pictures I don’t believe there is nothing wrong with being glamorous. I am not the kind of person to live for others. I have one life to live and I intend to live it the way I want to. Life is beautiful and it’s here for us to enjoy and have fun.
As I continue on this journey of life I am really hoping to play in more movies and showcase my various talents.
