A couple of the most notable   movies of Roma   were Chocolate and  Lollipop.

 The directors probably had their new heroine on their minds when they coined the name of the film – for the diminutive sweet little actress does indeed remind one of a very appetizing piece of candy stick.

The confectionery appearance notwithstanding, the wheat complexioned star isn’t half as soft n gooey as she appears. Roma belongs to the new brigade who are decisive, self-assured  and have no hesitation in speaking out their minds when the occasion demands.

She made her debut in all four South Indian languages, savoring each by turn and then decided that the Malayalam film industry offered her the best chance to showcase her talents ; in spite of tempting offers from other States has stuck steadfastly to her choice.

She was lucky in the breaks that came her way, having got the opportunity  to work with  Roshan Andrews in her very first film Notebook, with  Shafi in Chocolate and Minnaminnikoottam  with Kamal.

Standing just a little over 5 feet in her heels, Roma is fretfully aware of her height and has often bemoaned her ‘stature’; but neither her  fans nor her Producers seem to care about the lack of inches, having been cast repeatedly opposite the 6 footers Prithivraj & Jayasurya and  even the well-proportioned and ‘imposing’ Suresh Gopi.

 Doing judge’s duty on the Super Dancer podium Roma who is just 8 films young, appeared unfazed by the ‘wealth of experience’ surrounding her in the form of Kala Master &  Prasanna Master, delivering her comments and observations calmly and  competently.

Her popularity amongst the youngsters  was evidenced  by the fact that  almost all the contestants requested her to join in their performance, to which she acquiesced readily.
