Before starting her career as an actress, she worked for a real estate company. Then, he opened a fitness center for women and the elderly. After his fitness center closed, he studied mathematics and within two months he had mastered the 10th grade mathematics curriculum. Then he took tuition classes for poor students. In an interview he said,
Afasi, Chikku and Regina were my first students. At first, it was just mathematics, but knowing that he was failing in other subjects, I asked him to stay at my house for a month before the public exams, and gave tuition for all the subjects. He became the first student from that region to obtain first division.” Today, she is a nurse, a teacher and an M.Com holder, and still keeps in touch. After that Rajni continued to work with some batches of students. Sometimes she would take them with her to clean the road in front of her house.”

When he was asked in an interview how he got the role in the film ‘Oru Muthassi Gaadha’ (2016), he said,
There was this information on an online site about auditions for actors between the ages of 60 and 70. Anil from F3 Health Club, where I go every day, told me to try it. But I am very bad with technology, I did not know how to apply online. So I asked Maju Mathew (who starred in Action Hero Biju) to tell Jude. And Jude saw a video of mine and he liked my actions. So he came home the next day with his pregnant wife Diana and actor Appu, who played a Bengali servant in the film. I was wearing the same clothes (T-shirt and slacks) and I heard Jude then say, ‘Ithu aanu nammude muthassi (This is our grandmother).’
He worked in films like ‘Gandhinagaril Unniyarcha’ (2017) and ‘The Gambler’ (2019).
