There are two legit ways to become famous. Either you are so damn good at one thing that no one can come close to your level. The second method is, however, being good at so many things that people can not ignore your talent in various fields.
Being versatile is one’s biggest asset. This applies to every field as well, be it sports, acting, or something as simple as normal office work. For example, all-rounders are always preferred in cricket because they give you a combo of both skills. Similarly, an actor or actress who can sing and dance well will find it easier to get many opportunities.
There is no shortage of actors and actresses to employ in the market. Especially with an increase in streaming culture, the opportunities have increased for actors. But, even though the number of actors has increased, the number of versatile actors is still in short supply.
As a result, it is very rare that we get to witness someone who is able to do everything with finesse. One such name that comes to mind while thinking about versatile actresses is Pavithra Lakshmi.

Final Words
Earlier, South Indian cinema did not have the impact it currently has in North India as well. With the increase in social media and streaming services, the impact of South Indian cinema is bigger than ever. Not only in North India but also all around the globe, such movies are watched and revered by audiences.
Similarly, in the past, there were not many opportunities for new people to enter the film industry.
There were just some superstar families who had major opportunities. People from the “outside” did not find it too easy to enter this world. That is why having multiple skills was of supreme importance.
New stars such as Pavithra Lakshmi are prime examples that it is easier to thrive in the industry if you are good at multiple things. Moreover, Lakshmi is not only a good actress but also a singer, professional dancer, and, lest we forget, an amazing celebrity chef.
