Who is Sreeleela?

As a child, the Guntur Kaaram actress always showed interest in dance and began to train herself in Bharatanatyam. However, she followed her mother's footsteps and aspired to be a doctor like her.
While Sreeleela was pursuing a degree in MBBS, she landed her first acting job in 2017. As fate had different plans for her, she made her debut in the film industry with Chitrangada.
Sreeleela’s breakthrough role came in 2019 with Kiss, directed by A.P. Arjun. The Kannada romantic comedy became a commercial hit, completing a 100-day run in theaters. She then appeared alongside Sriimurali in Bharaate, an action drama directed by Chethan Kumar.
In 2021, Sreeleela debuted in Telugu cinema with Pelli SandaD. She further rose to fame after working with Mahesh Babu in Guntur Kaaram. Some of her best works include Skanda, Dhamaka, James and By Two Love.
According to a report by Times of India, Sreeleela had adopted two specially-abled children from an orphanage. She was just 21 when she decided to take care of the two kids.
