Shakeela

C. Shakeela, known mononymously as Shakeela, is an Indian actress and politician who has predominantly acted in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu language films. She is a member of Indian National Congress.

Shakeela debuted in the softcore pornographic film ''Playgirls'' (1995) at the age of 18. She became a popular figure in Kerala with the release of Malayalam softcore film ''Kinnara Thumbikal'' in 2000. This film would go on to pioneer a new wave of low-budget softcore porn films in the state, with Shakeela starring in many of them. In Kerala's hero-centric mainstream industry of her time, Shakeela's emergence as a liberated woman, who displays her sexuality in defiance of social norms led to what became known as Malayalam cinema's ''Shakeela tharangam'' (Shakeela wave).
