'Selling private images like hotcakes'; Mollywood former actress now ruling online subscription world

A dream Bollywood debut as an actress in a Subhash Ghai film. A slew of offers in the Tamil industry came next, and needless to say, each movie ended up winning at the box office. At the peak of her career, she even played the heroine to superstar Mohanlal. Here is Kiran Rathod, the voluptuous dame who once captivated fans with her sylphlike figure.

During her heyday, Kiran played the lead in 'Gemini' in Tamil and opposite veteran Kamal Haasan in ‘Anbe Sivam’. She debuted in Mollywood through Mohanlal’s super hit ‘Thandavam’ and ended up doing three more projects in the industry.

However, after 2016, her presence started fading from the movie industry, and little was heard of her. There were times when social media used to enquire about the actress, but to no avail. Then came the pandemic, putting the whole media world to a standstill. Sensing it as the best possible time to make a comeback, Kiran appeared before fans again on social media, but this time in a totally new avatar.

Those were times when adult stars started testing new waters with a novel content subscription option on social media. In 2022, Kiran also launched a subscription app, exclusively to sell her private photos and videos. It was rare at that time for a once-revered actress in the industry to break all stigmas to try her luck in the sizzling adult subscription business. Nothing went wrong for the former actress as she hit the bullseye with the online venture after her sultry images and videos started selling like hotcakes on the internet. Kiran is now one of the most followed actresses on social media, and her subscription business is thriving. Amidst this, the actress made a quiet comeback to mainstream movies with Mr. and Mrs., starring actress Vanitha Vijayakumar on July 4th.

Fans are now eager to know whether the actress will continue with movies or return to her fiefdom on social media.
