acting in TV serials. She then did a couple of rather insignificant roles on the big screen, in the Rajeev Anchal-directed Pilots and the Sibi.It was then that the malayalam film Meesha Madhavan happened. one major draw in the film was the hit song "Chingamaasam vannuchernaal...". Everybody noticed the energetic performance of Jyothirmayi who danced along with Dileep in the song. That was the turning point in Jyothirmayi's career. In her very next film Jyothirmayi was cast as the leading lady. The film Bhavum fetched her the jury's special mention at the National Awards.

Interview with Jyothirmayi.
After acting in the role, would you continue to act in glamorous roles too?
I don't intend to develop such an image. That's the reason why I'm trying my best to maintain a flexible image.
An actress must be capable enough to act in any role given to her. I know what my limits are and I don't intend to break those barriers.
There are talks that you are hesitant to act with senior heroes in Tamil...
Says who? In my first Tamil film, I appeared in an item number. In the second film, I was Sundar C's heroine.
I had recently completed two films, 'Sabari' with Vijayakanth and 'Naan Avan Illai' with Jeevan. If the story and my role are good, I really don't mind who the hero is.
You were one of the five heroines in 'Naan Avan Illai'. Were there any fights among heroines on the sets?
The film gave equal importance to all the five heroines. We had acted together in only one song sequence. You can act well only if there is a healthy competition.
How far is your husband helping you with your career?
I had never tried to hide the fact that I'm married. If I'm able to concentrate on my work so well, it is only because my family helps me.
They understand that acting is important to me.
Will you continue to appear in item numbers?
It depends on the film banner and the background.
Tell us about your Hindi film 'Anubhav'.
Mine is a guest role in the film. I play the role of a tribal girl who converts to Buddhism.
The film's shooting is now on in Karnataka and Kerala.
What difference do you notice in Malayalam and Tamil film industries?
Once Malayalam films were known for their realism, but these days, in their attempts to commercialize their films, lot of drastic changes have started to happen.
Soon, there wouldn't be much difference between Tamil and Malayalam films.
In Malayalam, films are completed faster than in Tamil.
Who are your favorite stars?
If I have forgotten to mention some names here, it is not because they aren't good actors and actresses.
It is simply because I still haven't worked with them. I love the performances of Nedumudi Venu and Thilagan.
They bring something special to the roles that they play.
