Rachana Maurya is a Hindi film actress, who has appeared in Hindi and Tamil films. She is probably best known for her performance in Yavarum Nalam. An actor or actress (see terminology) is a person who acts in a dramatic production and who works in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity. The ancient Greek word for an "actor," (hypokrites), means literally "one who interprets"; in this sense, an actor is one who interprets a dramatic character. The word actor refers to a person who acts regardless of sex, while actress refers specifically to a female person who acts; therefore a female can be referred to by either term. The Oxford English Dictionary states that originally "actor" was used for both sexes.
