Bindu Madhavi

Bindu Madhavi is an Indian actress and model whose career spans Tamil and Telugu cinema as well as the small screen. Her name is also spelt Bindhu Madhavi. Audiences remember her for the Tamil hits Kazhugu (2012) and Pasanga 2 (2015), and in 2022 she won the first edition of the Telugu reality show Bigg Boss Non-Stop. That victory made her the first woman ever to win a Bigg Boss title. Her screen journey began in Telugu with Avakai Biryani in 2008. Bumper Offer followed in 2009, and Om Shanthi came out in 2010. She then moved to Tamil films, where Kazhugu gave her a big success in 2012. A year later, Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga also did well. In 2015 she appeared in Pasanga 2 and Tamizhuku En Ondrai Azhuthavum, two more films that won over viewers. She came back for Kazhugu 2 in 2019. Her work in 2023 brought Newsense and Mansion 24, and Paruvu arrived in 2024. Dhandoraa and Dark Chocolate followed in 2025, and Batchmates came in 2026. She is known for moving with ease between two film industries and reality television. Bigg Boss Non-Stop let fans see her away from the camera's script, and her 2022 win there set a record, because no female contestant had taken a Bigg Boss crown before her.
