Born in [[Tenkasi]] to Vallinayagam Pillai and Aavudai Ammal in 1929. Rathnam had learned music from the age of seven under a guru called Ramalinga Aachari, and gave her first full-fledged concert in Sri Lanka. She became a drama artiste and film artist as a child. Pursued her tutelage under [[Ramnad Krishnan|Vidhwan Ramnad Krishnan]] at the age at 12 which paved way for playback singing later.

Married to Visvanathan Pillai in 1947.

Then she moved on to [[playback singer|playback singing]] in the [[Tamil film industry]].

==Career life==
She was 10 years old when she acted in Bhaktha Chetha in 1940 for the Madras United Artitstes. She then acted as the child Kannagi in ''[[Kannagi]]'' in 1942 for the [[Jupiter Pictures]] and also sang her own song. In the meantime, she had continued her training under [[Ramnad Krishnan]], and later trained under [[Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar]].

Rathnam was a much sought after singer in the late 1940s and 1950s. She became popular with the film music directors of that era who had worked with her repeatedly and in that glorious period TVR rendered a staggering variety of challenging songs.

Rathnam became famous by her songs in ''[[Miss Malini]]'' (1947) by the Gemini Studios. She also had a rare chance in ''[[Ponmudi (1950 film)|Ponmudi]]'' (1950) by [[Modern Theatres]] when the music director the great [[G. Ramanathan]] had sung the songs by his composition, himself. He had chosen TVR to pair him as the female singer for him.<ref>"''Miss Malini ''1947" [https://web.archive.org/web/20080728124200/http://www.hindu.com/cp/2008/07/25/stories/2008072550391600.htm The Hindu]</ref>
