Thus, began a story of steady, smooth growth in the world of cinema. Making her debut with SHUDDH DESI ROMANCE in 2013 Vaani immediately won over critics and audiences. In this fresh, young, feel good romantic film, Vaani stood out for her elegance and easy comfort on the big screen. Her second film, AAHA KALYANAM, again won praise. Versatile and sincere, Vaani took lessons in Tamil and Telugu to get the film’s languages right.
