Actress Rukmini Vasanth is one of the names which continues to make headlines. After her intense performance in Rishab Shetty’s “Kantara Chapter: 1” impressed the audience, today she turns 29. In a short time, Rukmini has distinguished herself in the industry with her simplicity, depth of acting, and strong screen presence. Let us tell you more about this talented actress.
Father served in the Indian Army, daughter shines in film industry
Rukmini Vasanth was born into a disciplined family. Her father, Colonel Vasanth Venugopal, was a brave officer in the Indian Army and the first soldier from Karnataka to receive the Ashoka Chakra. He passed away in 2007 while on duty in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir. His father’s bravery and discipline deeply influenced Rukmini’s personality. Her mother, Subhashini Vasanth, was a renowned Bharatanatyam dancer and later joined an organisation working for military widows. This confluence of art and sensitivity is clearly visible in Rukmini’s acting.
Rukmini once worked in theatres
Rukmini wasn’t limited to films. She trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London to learn the nuances of acting. Her theatre background lends her poise, emotional depth, and restraint to her performances, setting her apart from the crowd.
Films that changed Rukmini’s fortunes
Although Rukmini Vasanth made her film debut in 2019, her true identity was revealed in “Sapta Sagaradacha Elo.” The emotional layers of her character in this film deeply touched audiences.

With three major hits in a single year, Rukmini has proven she’s a long-term player.
