Rati Agnihotri (b. 1960, Mumbai) is an Indian actress in film. She is Punjabi, but she settled in Madras, Tamil Nadu because her father's job took the family there.

Childhood Career

When she was just sixteen years old, director Bharati Raja saw her in a school play and gave her the female lead in the Tamil film Pudhiya Varpukkal (1979). Bhagyaraj, her leading man, coached her by teaching her Tamil. Pudhiya Varpukkal became a blockbuster and it brought Rati into the entertainment spotlight in south India.

She also starred in Telugu and Kannada films and made 32 films in South India in just three years. Her fame in South Indian films led to her starring role in the Hindi film Ek Duuje Ke Liye (1981) with Kamal Hasan. The film earned her a Filmfare nomination as Best Actress and made her a huge star in Hindi films in the early 1980's.
