Her peers all were classically trained, which was why she wasn’t put in the top league. Banu started taking Kathak and Bharata Natyam lessons with success, and trained herself professionally.

Junglee was the beginning of her career as a successful actress. Her image was that of a romantic heroine and she acted in many love stories.
