Deepa Venkat is an Indian actress and dubbing artist. She works as a radio disc jockey at Hello FM Chennai in addition. She has starred in several Tamil films as well as television series.[1]
Career
[edit]Deepa made her acting career with the movie Paasamalargal, along with Arvind Swamy, Revathi, Srividya, M. N. Nambiar, and Chinni Jayanth in 1994.[2] She played Jhanvi, in a supporting child artist role.[3]
It all started when she was still in middle school, lending her voice for the Hindi dubbed version of American cartoons like Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers or advertisements.
Growing up in Mumbai, Venkat was fluent in Hindi and this proved to be a blessing when south Indian films began to be dubbed for television in the nineties. She initially lent her voice for junior artists and supporting roles, and later to the lead actors in dubbed-to-Hindi south Indian films like Muthu (1995), Ratchagan (1997), and Kadhalar Dhinam (1999).
She started her dubbing career in the movie Appu (2000) for Devayani.[4]
She has performed stand-in roles in movies for a number of actresses, including such as Simran, Sneha, Jyothika, Nayanthara, Anushka Shetty, Kajal Aggarwal, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and other actresses in various films. She was given a Kalaimamani award by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
Venkat has appeared in several films in supporting roles, and enjoyed a stint in television serials too. But, while she understood the acting process, dubbing came with its own set of challenges.[5]
