We may know Sandra as Aishwarya from Muddha Mandaram on ZEE Telugu. But did you know that she started out as a model? She has walked the ramp for many designers before foraying into cinema. One of her most prominent films include Allu Arjun-starrer Arya. After this movie, Sandra decided to explore the world of television.

Recalling a moment from the sets of Arya, Sandra said that she found her motivation when the director called her ‘One-take artiste Sandra.’ This happened after she was given an impromptu dialogue and she delivered it in the first take itself. The creative director of Muddha Mandaram has given her the moniker of ‘TV Tamannaah’ because of the fan following and craze that Sandra has.

Sandra has been associated with too many films and shows, yet she believes Muddha Mandaram to be her most favourite and best piece of work. She credits all her fame to the ZEE Telugu show.

Unlike most girls, Sandra is not crazy about chocolates, sweets or shopping. She loves toddlers. Yet she maintains that she likes kids only up to the age of three years. Ah! Until they learn to talk. We can all agree toddlers are cutest before they learn to speak.

Sandra is thankful to her stars for giving her Muddha Mandaram and all the success that has followed. Talking about the fan following and recognition, she said she was happy for all of it. Off screen, the pretty actress dreams for a mother-in-law like her on-screen atta, Akhilandeswari.

The Tamannaah of TV also has fallen for the South Indian heartthrob, Prabhas. But Prabhas isn’t the person she wants to go on a date with. The one celebrity that Sandra wants to share a special evening with is Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

In the show, Sandra’s character, Aishwarya, is married to Mahi who is younger to her. But unlike Aishwarya, Sandra will never settle down with a man whom she is older to. She believes that it takes two mature people to make a relationship work and guys younger than her may not be mature enough.

Sandra doesn’t like sharing the nitty-gritty of her life. But we can watch everything about her life as Aishwarya in Muddha Mandaram on ZEE5, before TV.
