Sivaangi Krishnakumar interview: From a singer to a comali, to actor and a cook

When she first got onto the stage and spoke at Vijay TV’s popular reality singing competition, Super Singer Season 7, many were amused by her childlike voice. Despite that edition of the show featuring star singers in the likes of Vikram, Punya, Sam Vishal, “Mookkuthi” Murugan, Roshini and Gautham, Sivaangi — the daughter of singer Binni Krishnakumar of ‘Raa Raa’ fame — proved her mettle, becoming an instant household name even when she couldn’t reach the finals. Sivaangi’s stint during the first three seasons of CWC was marked by many memorable moments, like her bromance with Pugazh, her many get-ups that left the fans in splits, Venkatesh Bhat calling her ‘Kutti’ Janaki, and how she helped Darshan clinch the runner-up title in the third season. I even avoided approaching the director and kept some distance as it would create unavoidable circumstances for other contestants,” she says, in a conversation over Zoom Even though she’s a vegetarian, Sivaangi decided to cook non-veg dishes as a chef, and even defeated a tough contestant like Ammu Abhirami in Season 3.
