Born and brought up in Singapore she never had the faintest idea of coming to movies as she was very serious about her studies .But her father’s friend insisted on her entry into movies and her first Tamil movie Muthal Mariyathai was a box office hit. From then onwards she never had to look back. Many of the super hit movies in Malayalam came her way and she acted in Swathi Thirunal, Chithram ,Mukundetta Sumitra vilikkunnu to name a few.
When asked about her favourite role in Malayalam she was so sure about Sugandhavalli, her role in Swathi Thirunal . But her Kalyani in Chithram movie has made an everlasting effect on Ranjini ‘s acting career. Ranjini is always remembered in viewers mind as a sophisticated ,classy actress with lot of potential.
