Early career
[edit]Pushpalatha's native home is Mettupalayam, Coimbatore.[3] Her father sold brass and silver. She was born in a strict Chettinadu Catholic family. She is the fifth child out of 8 children.[3] She completed Bharatnatyam at the age of 9. In 1955, She had a cameo role in the movie Nalla Thangai, produced and directed by actor S. A. Natarajan.[citation needed]

She has also acted in several Telugu and Malayalam films. Pushpalatha has produced two films. Both of them failed at the box office.[4]
Family
