Introduction: Ms D. Antony Janagi [Janagi ] is definitely one of the remarkable daughters and Actors of Kanyakumari District.  By starring as one of two leading heroines  in the famous French Film, Son Epouse [His Wife[] Janagi has attracted the attention of the international film world towards her tiny house in her native Village, Devasahayam Mount, near Aralvaimozhi, in Kanyaskumari District. She is a multifaceted personality with enormous potentiality for acting, dancing,etc,. .She was not born in a rich and influential family but definitely she has achieved greatness. Definitely she is a progressive girl and she has shown a new , adventurous, and promising career path to thousands of girls to select and pursue profession and career in tune with their natural flair and inclination. We can definitely say that she has inherited some musical, writing and acting talents from her maternal grandpa late Mr.Cruz Michael . Mr Cruz Michael was a great Drama Writer, Drama Director and actor and also he was an outstanding Kazhiyal master . In the same way Janagi's maternal aunt Philomina's daughter Mrs Selvi Ananth is serving as the Director  of Murasu Cultural Group. Janagi's whole family is a musical and artistic family ,even her maternal uncle Siluvai is also a wonderful drama actor .


Her birth and Parents : Janagi  was born as the last child  to the lovely couple Mr . Devasahayam and Mrs Viristhal Devasaham,  at Aralvai Mozhi Kurusadi [ Devasahayam Mount], in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu,  on 3 rd January 1984. Janagi's father works as  a Kiln worker and her mother works as a Mid-day Meal Cook.

Her Siblings:  Janagi's parents Mr Devasahayam and his lovely wife Viristhal Devasahayam were blessed with the following children namely:[1] Mrs. Maria kala, [2] Mr. Maria Siluvai, [3]  Mrs Arockia Prema, [4] 
Mrs Sahaya Jeyanthi, [5] and our Ms. Antony Janagi [Antony Janagi is generally known as Janagi among the general public and friends].

Janagi's Education and Art Training in kazhari Cultural Group : Janagi did her Plus-two education at the famous Government Higher Secondary School at Aralvaimozhi.   She wanted to go for collegiate education , she wanted to do her BA degree course at Arinjar Anna College at Aralvaimozhi but unfortunately she was denied admission in the college by the concerned authorities of the College. As a shrewd thinker in line with her natural inclination she wisely thought about alternatives , and joined the famous Kazhari [ Peoples' Cultural Group] Nagercoil, and received good training in various kinds of folk arts and mastered nearly 24 Folk arts[ Nattar Kalaihal] namely, Kummi, Karaham, Kolattam, Oyilattam, Thevarattam, etc, Then Janagi worked for 3 years [2002-2005] as Coordinator in the Kazhari Cultural Group. Simultaneously she was doing her BA[ Tamil] degree course through Correspondence Course in Annamalai University and received her BA degree.

Janagi  joined Murasu Cultural Group : During that period of time there was a Voluntary Cultural Group called Murasu Cultural Group that was organized and run by  Art lovers . Janagi voluntarily joined this cultural Group. Murasu Group was conducting many Dramas , Dance programs ,  Cultural programs , Street Dramas, Musical Concerts,etc, and was disseminating powerful social messages for the cause of social justice   and Janagi took very active part  and played a vital role in Murasu Cultural Group. 

Janagi joined the prestigious National School of Dance , Delhi:  Thus Janagi was blooming as a great Performer Artist in Kanyakumari district as a dynamic member of  Murasu Cultural Group. In 2007  the National School of Dance, Delhi and Kalachuvadi [late Writer Shri. Sundararamasami was the founder editor of kalachuvadu, Nagercoil].Tamil Magazine jointly conducted a Training Workshop at ST Hindu College, Nagercoil, for thirty days and Janagi  had the privilege to participate and get training  in the workshop . Thus she happened to hear about the National School of Dance from the teachers of the NSD, Delhi, for the first time. Janagi  ardently decided to join the famous National School of Dance [NSD} in Delhi. She applied for the admission at NSD  but as she was  not having sufficient fluency and  command in Hindi and English,  she failed in her first Interview. However she prepared very well for the next interview with the help people like Drama Director Mrs.A. Mangai.  Janagi did well in the interview and  got admission at the prestigious National School of Dance , Delhi. It is pertinent to remember here that Janagi was the first Tamil who got admission in the National School Dance , from Tamil Nadu. Janagi successfully completed her three year Dioploma Course in Dramatic Arts  with specialization in Acting ,in 2012 [ 2009-2012 ]..

Janagi got the privilege to act in a leading role in a French Film , SON EPOUSE :  While Janaki was doing her final year at the prestigious National School Dance in 2012  the famous French Film Director Mr Michael Spinosa was searching for a suitable Indian Tamil girl to act in  a leading role in his proposed French film , Son Epouse , in this context Janaki's friend and writer Prema Revathy  told  Janagi about the auditioning for the French Film Son Epouse and asked Janaki to try for that .Accordingly Janagi went for the auditioning and  she was spot selected for  the Film Son Epouse. In the Film Son Epouse, Janagi efficaciously acted the role of a beautiful young Madras Tamil girl Gracie who was suffering from psychological problem as she was haunted by the spirit of her  friend Catherine [Gainsbourg] who dies in a mysterious and unresolved circumstance.  Janagi plays a prominent role and even speaks french in the film Janagi took French language training and acted in a remarkable manner in the film and won the appreciation of one and all. The film Son Epouse was well received in France and other European countries. 


Real to reel Janagi (in a still from the movie) used memories of her village for Son Épouse

                                     Gracie [Janagi ]-  French Film Son Epouse.

Janakgi's acting talents received amazing reception from film fans, film Critics and leading News Papers wrote remarkable reviews about the acting talent of our Janaki. . The Business Line wrote that Janagi has a promising career ahead.[Article dated 4th April, 2014]. The French film  Son Epouse was screened at the Berlin Film Festival held in 2014. The Famous Hollywood Reporter wrote about Son Epouse under the heading Berlin Film Festival[market] that , "East meets West on this visually exquisite psychological drama"  More over the Holly Wood Reporter wrote, "Likewise the cast of Tamil Actors especially newcomer Janaagi as the tortured Gracie , offer up lived-in-performance that never belittle all the bizarre happenings . Even the scene where Gracie is put into a trance by a local priest swinging her head in circles like some sort of Bollywood Linda Blair, manages to brave the view with a sense of wonder and fear".[ The Hollywood Reporter -His Wife "Son Epouse ": Berlin Review, dt 7-2-2014.,by Jordan Mintzer]. Thus world News Papers wrote remarkable reviews about Janagi , she is really one of the remarkable milestones of our Kanyakumari district and Tamil Nadu..

Janagi in Son Epouse
Conclusion ;  Now the people of her village , Kanyakumari district and Tamil Nadu  can be proud of her. A daughter of a poor kiln worker has made the global film world to talk about her , by her extraordinary acting talent and  performance  In spite of her extraordinary acting talent she has not received  deserving opportunities from the Indian Film world . Following her debut  film Son Epouse , Janagi got an opportunity to act in a Tamil Film by name, "Malini 22 Palayam Kottai " and in this film also she has made her acting imprint in a efficacious style. . Now she is acting in another Tamil Film namely, Kabali  I am quite sure the international Film world will soon open its eyes and give many opportunities to Janagi and make use of her extraordinary acting talents, because outstanding natural creative talents can not be avoided  and ignored for a long time.  Let me conclude this informative Article with a  very glad news that the heroine of this Article,  D.Janagi is going to be united in marriage with Mr. S.
