Later that year she had her second release, Punyalan Agarbattis, in which she played “a vibrant girl, similar to the real me”. Since she could relate herself to the character, she used her own looks and costumes in the film. Although she had a major role in Kunjananthante Kada she said that it was her role in Punyalan Agarbathis that fetched her recognition.
