Lekha Washington is an Indian film actress, artist and product designer, who has appeared in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada language films. She was first recognised for her work as a sculptor in 2002 and then as a theatre actress in Chennai based stage plays. After appearing as a video jockey with SS Music, Lekha’s breakthrough film role was as an independent estranged sister in Jayamkondaan (2008), whilst she has gone on to portray roles in the multi-starrer Vedam and the comedy Va.
While pursuing her education, she decided to appear in Chetan Shah’s experimental English film, Framed, and subsequently received offers to be a music video jockey from SS Music. In early 2007, Lekha was signed on to play the lead role of an orthodox Tamil Brahmin girl alongside Silambarasan in his project Kettavan, after the actor and the film’s director Nanthu had spotted her at a cinema hall. She replaced the team’s original choice Sana Khan in the lead role, but despite completing a schedule, the film was shelved and later cancelled after the lead actor and director had creative differences. She had earlier made an uncredited appearance in a song from the 1999 romance film Kadhalar Dhinam and also made a guest appearance in director Jeeva’s 2007 film Unnale Unnale as a bride at a wedding. In November 2007, Lekha signed on to play a supporting role in R. Kannan’s directorial debut Jayamkondaan alongside Vinay Rai and Bhavana (actress). Appearing as Vinay Rai’s estranged stepsister, Brindha, in the film, Lekha won critical acclaim for her role with a reviewer citing that she “sparkles as the half sister in a well etched role” and is “the surprise packet and has the credentials to make it big”. Another critics cited that Lekha “pulls off with élan” and “her costume spells class and character as does her performance”, and subsequently the film went on to become a critical and commercial success.
In 2010, Lekha appeared in three films in three regional languages. Her first release was in the multi-starrer Vedam, where she played a role as a part of the troupe of a lead character, Manoj Manchu. The film won positive reviews, and Lekha’s small role was labelled as “adequate support” by critics, as the film enjoyed a successful run commercially. She then appeared in Pushkar-Gayathri’s comedy film, Va, playing a suicidal schoolgirl who meets the characters of Shiva and Charan on an election night in Chennai. The film received average reviews, whilst Lekha’s portrayal also received mixed acclaim with a reviewer citing that she “carries off her role of a dimwit quite well”, whilst another cites that she “does not impress and needs to brush up her acting skills and lip sync”. Her final release of the year was the romantic Kannada film, Huduga Hudugi opposite Sameer Dattani, which became a commercial and critical failure, with Lekha receiving mixed reviews for her role.
Lekha was signed on to appear in her debut Hindi film, John Owen’s Peter Gaya Kaam Se beating hundred other actresses in an audition, after the producers felt that “she looked like a super model, could play football and was an Anglo-Indian”. The film opposite Rajeev Khandelwal features Lekha as Mira, an undercover agent, but is yet to release, after disputes between the producers and the director. She has also shot for another Hindi project, Power by Rajkumar Santoshi, featuring her as Sneha alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan, though the film has been delayed. In 2013, Lekha was seen in Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola as Imran Khan’s friend. She won acclaim for her portrayal of a Tamil Brahmin bride in the romantic comedy Kalyana Samayal Saadham (2013), before portraying a guest role in the action thriller Arima Nambi (2014).
