Early life and education : Born in Bhatkal, Karnataka, in present Uttara Kannada, into an orthodox yet artistic Brahmin family, where his father was a drawing master father and a Harikatha exponent, and also a stage actor.

Her soft looks and dialogue delivery also added luster and depth to such roles. In her later career she played the mother of stars older than she and with most of whom she had played the lead in her earlier years. Pandari Bai also acted in a couple of Kannada TV serials Amma and Manethana (1998-2000). Both of them were produced by her sister Mynavathy's company Yantra Media.
