— Siddarth Srinivas (@sidhuwrites) February 11, 2026A course in medicine can be demanding on its own. An MBBS course in India typically involves five to six years of rigorous study and clinical training, followed by medical postings and other rigorous examinations.
An American actress of Indian origin, Sreeleela shot to nationwide fame for her performance in the Kissik song in Allu Arjun’s blockbuster Pushpa 2 (2024).
She began her medical studies in 2020 at the DY Patil Medical College in Mumbai, according to Indian media reports. Detroit-born Sreeleela, however, grew up in Bengaluru. Her mother, Swarnalatha, is a gynaecologist.
Sreeleela made her acting debut in the Telugu film Chitrangada (2017). She followed that up with Kiss (2019).
The budding actress has a busy year ahead, with the Pawan Kalyan actioner Ustaad Bhagat Singh and an untitled Hindi film to be directed by Anurag Basu in the pipeline.
