[3] It all started when she was still in middle school, lending her voice for the Hindi dubbed version of American cartoons like Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers or advertisements.
Growing up in Mumbai, Venkat was fluent in Hindi and this proved to be a blessing when south Indian films began to be dubbed for television in the nineties.
She initially lent her voice for junior artists and supporting roles, and later to the lead actors in dubbed-to-Hindi south Indian films like Muthu (1995), Ratchagan (1997), and Kadhalar Dhinam (1999).
Venkat has appeared in several films in supporting roles, and enjoyed a stint in television serials too.
