She took dance classes before she was cast into the television series.

Career

She began her career in 2001 by acting in a small role as the heroine's friend in the film Theerthadanam.[7] Though it was a small role, Rachana considers it as a gratifying experience to have begun her career through a film scripted by M. T. Vasudevan Nair. After her studies, she joined radio as an RJ, at Radio Mango, Thrissur, where a producer spotted her and cast her in Marimayam. Rachana had only intended to act in a single episode of Marimayam, but was taken aback by the overwhelming response her character got, and decided to continue.
