She began at the age of 10, following in her fathers steps as an avid animator and cartoonist, when he began to teach her to secrets of animation.
Currently too, her father manages his own business - The Oscar Animations and Multimedia which trains people on how to animate objects.
"When I looked at my father creating characters and animating them, I got excited. It was great to watch him do that," she says, adding that her father appreciated her interest in his craft and began to teach her.
"Seeing my interest, he first taught me the basics of animation like tools and how to use them, and then how to create a character and animate it."
To create history, and get into the Guinness Book of World Records, she was asked to make the 3-minute film in 10 hours. She took leave from school and practised for a long time.
"In front of the media and people, Sindhuja started drawing at 12 noon and finished it by 8.30 at night." rediff says and adds "Instead of 10 hours, she made the film in eight-and-a-half hours and then waited for confirmation from the Guinness Book of records. It eventually came.
Speaking of the task, she says: "I was not tired at all; I was just excited that I was going to do it in record time. I didn't notice who all were there at the mall to see me work. My friends said they were all there but I didn't see anyone; only the characters were in front of me. I felt extremely happy when I could finish it so fast! After I finished it, I was given a memento by the Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister M K Stalin."
Born on January 26, 1997, Sindhuja is now 19 years old and all grown up.
