Jeevitha or popularly known as Jeevitha Rajasekhar is an Indian actress, who has primarily worked in the Southern film industry (featuring in predominantly Tamil and Telugu language movies) of the Indian film industry. She was a prominent leading actress and was often casted as the second heroine during the 80s era. She's also a director and producer now.

After marriage with her co star-turned-husband Rajasekhar (actor) in 1991, Jeevitha chose to completely step away from the limelight of acting and further focused on her marriage and family. She instead, became a backbone strength to supporting her husband’s acting career. She later became a director and a producer for Rajasekhar’s films and sadly, they lost all money in the movie they made together. Their daughters, Shivani & Shivatmika Rajaasekhar are also upcoming popular stars, down South.

Jeevitha’s actual birthname is Padma and after entering the film industry very early, she converted her official name to Jeevitha, given by one of the Tamil directors in the mid 80s. She has acted in 40+ films and is also involved with politics now (along with her husband). Her birthdate is rather inconsistent throughout the media, as some sources state Jeevitha’s birthday fell on 24th May and some on 2nd September (coinciding with actor Pawan Kalyan’s birthday too).

Jeevitha was born in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh of India (as the third child, amongst her four siblings) and the family later migrated to Madras, Chennai at a very early age where Jeevitha began her acting career there in the Kollywood industry first. She can fluently converse in her mother-tongue, Telugu and in Tamil as well. Her two older siblings- one brother and sister are deceased and her one younger sibling (a sister) is only alive till date. Jeevitha becomes very emotional when remembering her few siblings.
