Trisha Krishnan, at a recent media interaction, reminisced about her days as a Miss India contestant. It should be noted that Trisha in 1999, when she was all of 16 years old, won the “Miss Salem” beauty pageant and later went on to win the coveted Miss Chennai contest. She also went on to participate in the overall Miss India pageant wherein she won the ‘Beautiful Smile’ award.

So when asked about her association with the publication, she dated it back to her pageant days. She also fondly remembered how she won her first Filmfare award. “I don’t think too many people know of this but my association with Filmfare dates back to 1999. They had covered the entire event. What’s more special was when I won my first award, it was for the movie Varsham. It’s always been very special to me,” she said.

The actress made her acting debut in an uncredited role in Jodi (1999). She went on to make her proper debut in Ameer’s Mounam Pesiyadhe (2002) and then made her Telugu debut in Nee Manasu Naaku Telusu (2003). In Varsham, starring opposite Prabhas of Baahubali fame, Trisha won her first ever award. The film also went on to be a massive hit.

The actress at the press conference looked gorgeous in a Tommy Hilfiger black maxi dress. She teamed it up with Chanel heels and was styled by Shravya Varma.
