She started off as a heroine and later moved on to doing item numbers. Even with that imposing height, Anuradha could act in over 700 films, which is a great achievement even when most of her co-actors or heroes were far shorter than her. She is trained in martial arts and she did her action roles without any dupe. She was a motorcycle rider, who rode Java, Enfield bullet and other motorcycles. She was also seen in few Sun TV serials, including Thangam, Kannana kanne, Muthaaramand Deivamagal.
Personal life
Anuradha was born to Krishna Kumar, a choreographer, and Saroja Devi, a hairdresser for actresses in films. Her father is a Marathi and her mother is from Andhra Pradesh.

However, Kumar met with a motorcycle accident on 7 November 1996, which caused massive damage to his brain and he died in 2007 due to heart attack.
