==Acting career==
After making a remarkable debut with ''[[Jayam (2002 film)|Jayam]]'' (2002), Sadha appeared in the Tamil film ''[[Anniyan]]'' (2005), opposite Vikram directed by [[S. Shankar]]. Since then, she has appeared in a number of films across various film industries of India, in different languages including ''[[Monalisa (film)|Monalisa]]'' (2004) in [[Kannada]] and ''[[Click (2010 film)|Click]]'' (2010) in [[Hindi]].

In 2014, Sadha joined as a judge for the ninth season of ''Jodi No 1'' on Vijay TV.

I'm glad ''Torchlight'' happened."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2018/sep/11/the-sadha-interview--i-censored-torchlight-myself-did-not-want-film-to-look-sleazy-1870212.html|title=The Sadha interview | 'I censored 'Torchlight' myself; did not want film to look sleazy'|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>
