Career

Her debut into films happened in the early '80s and in a short period of time, she became one of the top heroines of the time. Though Lissy had been paired with almost all the top heroes of the eighties, it was along with Mohanlal and Mukesh that she was able to create magic on screen.

Personal life

She fell in love with the noted film director Priyadarshan, and married him on 13 December 1990. After marriage, Lissy gave up acting and adopted the name Lakshmi for religious reasons. After the birth of their son, Lissy converted to Hindu religion from Catholicism.
