Ankitha ::: Rasna girl

In the mid ’80s, the Rasna ad was a huge hit when it was played right between the cartoon Spiderman, shown on Sunday evenings.

Everytime they added some new flavour, the ad and the jingle would be modified. The ad showed a cute girl saying: I love you Rasna! (She was one more reason for the ad being a hit.) Ankita Jhaveri, the cute kid whom we saw in the Rasna ad now an actress, debuted first in the Telugu film Lahiri Lahiri Lahiri Lo.

She wasn’t ready to do any glamorous roles. Her song in Simhadri, ‘Cheema Cheema’ set the screen ablaze. But after flops engulfed her career, she hasn’t seen one successful film so far. From Seetaramudu and Raraju she pinned hopes to revive her career but that too failed. But, her career downslide began when she attempted suicide when the unit was shooting a song sequence abroad. Her career in Tollywood never recovered from that bad publicity. She tried her luck in Tamil film industry and failed.
