Pooja Gandhi's mother dons grease paint

Actress Pooja Gandhi, the Punjabi kudi, created a niche for herself with blockbuster Mungaaru Male way back in 2006 in Sandalwood. Since then, she has travelled a long way to be what she is today. Even though, she had a dream debut in Kannada, the actress witnessed a lot of ups and downs but managed to deliver quite a few hits. It was proved again recently with her Dandupalya, where the actress has come out with flying colours.

Well, the actress, whose sister Sanjana Gandhi has already acted in Kannada films, is all set to introduce yet another member from her family to Sandalwood. It is none other than her mother Jyothi Gandhi. Speaking to a daily, the actress has confirmed the news and said that her mother always had a secret love towards acting. Jyothi Gandhi was a theatre artist before tying the knot. However, Pooja Gandhi felt that the role would suit her mother when she heard the script.

Hence, the actress made her mother agree to act in the movie. The forthcoming movie is titled Subhadra and they will be seen as mother-daughter in the film too. Jyothi Gandhi shot her portions recently.
