Sindhu Menon is a name well known among all four South Indian filmdom. She created a niche for herself in Kannada film industry despite of tough competition among young actresses. She entered Kannada filmdom as child actress though it was highly unexpected she says. Sindhu has 25 Kannada films in her credit. She is a Bharathnatyam dancer since from her childhood and during school days she used to participate in dance competitions. In one such competition where 25 other schools took part, she got the 1st prize. One of the judges there, noticed the inherent talent and introduced her to a Kannada film. Though her family base is in Kerala, Sindhu was born and brought up in Bangalore and she mingled with people here as a true Bangalorean. She acted in other South Indian languages including Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Film Huliya where she acted as a child actress received a lot of appreciation. She baged Tamilnadu and Telugu Academy award for Telugu film 'Trinetra'.

This film is due to release shortly. She has lots of plans in pipeline. Though she is a Bharathanatyam dancer, not been able to go for Rangapravesham due to her busy film schedule.
