Gayatri Jayaram made her debut in Manadai Thirudivittai opposite Prabudeva. She did not get many offers thereafter. Hence, this physiotherapist- turned- actress switched to learning scuba diving and spent some time in Lakshadweep. Now, she teaches the sport to the upper crust enthusiasts in Chennai. Besides being an instructor, she also conducts exclusive events like underwater marriages and theme holidays. When a ship ran aground near Mangalore, she was one of the members of the rescue team of divers. Kollywood’s loss is the ocean’s gain.
