Rasna girl Ankita to tie the knot

Ankita, who made her Tollywood debut with the film Lahiri Lahiri Lahirilo, directed by Y.V.S. Chaudhary, is all set to tie the knot. Ankita, who had shot to fame as the Rasna girl of the 1980s, will marry NRI Vishal, a vice-president of J.P. Morgan in New Jersey.

Since her big screen debut, Ankita has acted in nearly 20 Telugu films with the biggest one being Simhadri, opposite Jr NTR. The song Cheema Cheema from the film had become very popular at that time.
