Career[]

Raadhu had a brief stint in Malayalam and Tamil films in the eighties. She started her career in Tamil with Nizhalgal [1] directed by Bharathiraja. After that, she acted in Ennu Nathante Nimmi with Mammootty & Rahman and the long delayed traditional Vadakkanpattu film Kadathanadan Ambadi with Mohanlal.

Soon, Radica was married, and began her work in the software industry. With the struggle of two growing kids, and pressured work, Radica, now Giri decided it was best to leave her job and pursue her deep passion in Bharathanatyman. Having already learned and performed 2 arangetrams, Radica Giri opened her very own dance studio, Anjali Natyam School of Dance. Today, she teaches over 40 students, and has successfully finished the arangetram of over a dozen and a young women.
