# Sreeleela's Heartwarming Secret: Adopting Three Kids at 24 Without Living as a Traditional Mom Imagine a 24-year-old rising star, juggling blockbuster films and Bharatanatyam dances, quietly becoming a guardian angel to three children in need. That's the inspiring reality of **Sreeleela**, the 'Parasakthi' actress who just opened up about her adoptions.[1][2] In a candid chat with Galatta Plus, Sreeleela revealed she adopted two differently-abled kids, **Guru** and **Shobhitha**, back in February 2022—at just 21 years old—during a life-changing visit to an ashram arranged by her 'Kiss' director.[1][5] She later welcomed a baby girl in April 2025, making it three under her care.[2][4] But here's the twist: they don't live with her. "I'm not a **mother mother** because there's an entirely different story to that," she shared, explaining they thrive at the ashram where she visits often and chats by phone.[1][5] It's a hands-on support system she kept secret for years, now sharing to spark awareness and encourage others to "start looking in that direction."[2][7] This isn't just celebrity philanthropy—it's deeply personal for Sreeleela, born June 14, 2001, in Detroit, who balances her MBBS degree, trained dancer roots, and a skyrocketing career in Kannada, Telugu, and now Tamil cinema with 'Parasakthi' alongside Sivakarthikeyan.[1][3][8] From her conservative family background—daughter of gynecologist Swarnalatha—she's defied odds, pursuing acting while studying medicine.[3] Her "motherly instinct" shines through, as she "mothers people around her," all while prepping for Telugu's 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' with Pawan Kalyan and a Bollywood debut with Kartik Aaryan in Anurag Basu's musical.[5][6]
