Vijaya, born on August 29, 1973, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, began her acting career in the late 1990s. She made her debut in the Telugu film industry with the movie "Neeha" in 1998. Her early roles showcased her versatility as an actress, and she quickly gained popularity for her performances.

She defined her eyes intensely with black kohl (kajal), extending it slightly outward for a cat-eye effect. She avoided dramatic eye shadow, sticking to matte browns and golds to contour her natural eye shape.
