As her career as a playback singer took off, she also took roles in films, making her debut in 2007âs Pachaikili Muthucharam. Although her acting career went from bit parts to lead roles, her main focus was still music. Some of her most popular songs include âUm Mella Asanthanâ (from 2010âs Aayirathil Oruvan), âIdhu Varaiâ (from 2010âs Goa), and âGoogle Googleâ (from 2012âs Thuppakki). Andrea Jeremiahâs career has included many nominations and awards as both a playback singer and actress.
