Kadambari Jethwani
Kadambari was born on 20th April in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India into a Hindu Sindhi Jethwani family to Narendrakumar, a Merchant Navy officer, and Asha, a manager with the Reserve Bank of India, who was also a gold medallist in Economics. Her maternal grandfather was an eminent social worker. She received her school education from Prakash Higher Secondary School, Mount Carmel High School and Udgam School, all elite institutes in Ahmedabad, and also obtained her Visharad (B.A. on successful completion of 7 the years course) in Bharatnatyam at the age of 12. She was an outstanding student and topped the Higher Secondary Exams, and went on to receive her M.B.B.S. degree from the reputed Smt NHL Municipal Medical College in Ahmedabad. The family moved to Mumbai because of her mother's job transfer. There, a chance meeting with the director led to the lead role in the Hindi movie 'Sadda Adda' (credited as Kahkkashan Aryan). One thing led to another and she went on to star in Ouija (Kannada), Aata (Telugu), I Love Me (Malayalam) and Oh Yaara Ainvayi Ainvayi Lut Gaya (Punjabi), despite having no remote background or connections in the film industry. She soon became known as a powerhouse performer, who could emote with natural ease, and for her classic Indian, yet unconventionally hot looks and stunning features on camera.
