Geetu Mohandas is a Malayalam film actress who acted alongside Madhavan in Nala Damayanthi. She has acted in several other Malayalam films.
Career
Geetu’s actual name is Gayathri Mohandas. Affectionately called Geetu by her family, the name was adopted as her screen name when she starred in her first movie “Onnu Mudhal Poojyam Vare” in 1986 with Mohanlal in the lead role. Geetu was five years old then and captured the hearts of malayalam fimgoers as a fatherless child who discovers a father in an anonymous telephone caller. She also acted in the Tamil remake of Fazil’s “Ente Mamattikkuttiyammakku” (Malayalam) with Baby Shalini in the title role and Geetu was in the Tamil version “En Bommukutty Ammavukku”, which was a top grosser.
Geetu is now working on a film she plans to direct shortly. She is one of those rare intellectually ambitious female actors who consciously avoided being cast as a beautiful female lead. Instead, from the beginning of her career she has taken on the out-of-ordinary and the more challenging roles which a young female actor would normally be at pains to refuse. Her brother, Arjun Das, is a physician in Chicago, Illinois.
Personal life
