Alphonsa (actress)

Alphonsa is an Indian film actress known for her works in South Indian film Industry, predominantly in item numbers, supporting and cameo roles. She is an accomplished dancer.

She was born in Tamil Nadu. Alphonsas younger brother is choreographer Robert, who has also worked in films as an actor. Alphonsa had lived with an upcoming actor Vinod in a live in relationship for two years before he committed suicide in 2012. Alphonsa also then attempted suicide in March 2012 by consuming excessive sleeping pills but was saved. Reports initially emerged casting suspicion over the actresss involvement in Vinods death. Alphonsa later came out and ended her silence regarding the issue, noting that such allegations were baseless. She stated that Vinod had played the lead in a movie called Kavasam alongside Murali, which was put on hold because of financial problems, and that the failure to make it as an actor in films despite half a decade of hard work had him feeling depressed enough to commit suicide.
