Janani was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India into a Tamil family. Brought up in Chennai as well, she studied at D AV School in Gopalapuram and later did her computer science course at Saveetha Engineering College in Chennai.[1]
After her studies, she ventured into modelling and did over 150 national as well as regional ads.[1] However, according to herself, she always dreamt of becoming an actress, considering acting to be her "passion in life".[1]
In early 2010, following the recommendation of director A. L. Vijay, Janani went to an audition of director Bala,[1] who was looking for a Tamil-speaking new face for the lead female character in his new film project. Upon seeing her audition, Bala signed her for the role as he felt that she "fits into the role".[1] Thus, she is making her acting debut in that film, titled Avan Ivan, starring alongside actors Arya and Vishal Krishna, which is currently in the making.
