128ms
Born on June 18, 2005, Sara Arjun is an Indian actress who has captivated audiences primarily in Tamil and Hindi films and commercials. The daughter of actor Raj Arjun, her acting journey began before she even turned six, with appearances in a string of commercials and a short Hindi film. Then, in 2010, a pivotal moment arrived when she was cast in the lead role of A. L. Vijay's Tamil drama, *Deiva Thirumagal*. She portrayed a young girl whose father was a mentally challenged adult. The film was met with widespread critical and commercial success, and Sara's performance earned significant praise from film critics. Since then, she has graced the screens in numerous Indian films, predominantly in Tamil and Hindi, but also in Telugu and Malayalam, consistently receiving positive reviews for her portrayals, most notably for her role in Vijay's 2014 film, *Saivam*.
Her career began at the tender age of one and a half, when she shot her first commercial. Spotted at a mall with her parents, Sara went on to appear in a hundred ad films for brands like McDonald's. She even did a commercial for director Vijay when she was just two. Though they lost touch for a while, Vijay later met Sara's family in Mumbai and cast her in *Deiva Thirumagal*. Her parents played a crucial role in helping Sara learn her Tamil dialogues, enlisting the help of their Tamil friend, Maheswari. The film's crew even remarked on Sara's dedication, noting that she learned Vikram's dialogues and tried to assist him during the shoot. Upon its release, the film was a resounding success, and Sara's portrayal of Nila was universally lauded by critics. One critic even stated that "Sara as Nila almost steals the show as Vikram's daughter," while CNN-IBN reviewers found her to be "charm personified" and praised her amazing handling of the role. Her father shared that Sara remained unfazed by the publicity, returning to her daily routine of "asking for her eraser, sharpener and colour pencils" in her hotel room. During this period, she also completed a part in Amjad Khan's *Tomorrow*, a film that did not receive a theatrical release.
Sara then ventured into Hindi cinema with Kannan Iyer's supernatural film, *Ek Thi Daayan* (2013), produced by Ekta Kapoor. She played Misha, the younger sister of the film's lead character. While the film garnered positive reviews, its commercial performance was modest, though Sara's performance was described as "irresistibly cute" by a Rediff reviewer. She then took on a lead role in R. Sundarrajan's *Chithirayil Nilachoru*, a film that opened with little fanfare. Her next significant project was Vijay's *Saivam*, a family drama where she played the central character of a young girl named Thamizhselvi. In an ensemble cast, she shone, earning rave reviews for her performance, with one critic noting, "the film wouldn't be half the film without the abundant charm and screen presence of Sara who plays Tamizh."
Sara's father, Raj, is also an actor who has appeared in films. Her younger brother, Suhaan, made his acting debut in the 2016 short film, *Dinner*.
