Divya or Ramya? What’s in a Name?
August 14th, 2009 - 2:10 am ICT by Sampurn WireOut of the number of new actresses, Divya Spandana or as she is known in Kannada films, Ramya is one of the few who is as glamorous as she is talented. She proved her acting abilities in the recent Vaaranam Aayiram, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. Her role was that of a girl who loves a man unconditionally since she was a child and waits for him.
A believer of astrology and numerology, Divya changed her name to Ramya in 2008 stating that the alphabet “R’ would be lucky for her. People began to call her Kuthu Ramya because of her Tamil debut, Kuthu. They would laugh at the name and make fun of it. Even director Gautham Menon didn’t like it, so she went back to her original name. She continues to be Ramya in Kannada films though. She is presently working on Singam Puli and Kadhal 2 Kalyanam, two Tamil films. She stars opposite Jiiva in Singam Puli.
