Early life and background

Career
Sindhu worked primarily in the Tamil film and television industries. Over the years she appeared in a number of Tamil films, with roles in Karuppusamy Kuththagaithaarar (2007), Thenavattu (2008), Nadodigal (2009) and Naan Mahaan Ala (2010). Her supporting performance in the 2010 romantic drama Angadi Theru brought her wider attention.

Alongside her film work, Sindhu performed in several Tamil television serials. She returned to acting in serials at times when family and financial pressures required her to work.

She appealed publicly for assistance with medical bills, and several colleagues in the film community contributed toward her care.

Sindhu spoke candidly in interviews about the physical and emotional toll of her illness. She underwent a mastectomy as part of cancer treatment and described continuing complications, including swelling and loss of function in one arm.
