H. S. Gopalakrishna and Nagalakshmi were “a conservative Brahmin family” when Sudha Rani was born. The family resided in the Bengaluru neighbourhood of Malleswaram. Since the majority of Sudha Rani’s relatives were academics—many of them were doctors—she had aspirations of becoming a doctor. Renowned actor Chi. Udaya Shankar was her uncle.
