Earlier, Rajesh was seen sharing about her journey in a TEDx Talk where she talked about personal loss, rejection, bias and sexual harassment in the industry. She commented on her personal experience of bias because of her skin colour. She said, "It was not only sexual harassment but also my colour, my complexion, my personality, the way I look. Maybe, they didn’t take me because I was talking in Tamil. It happens in our Tamil film industry."

She further said, "In cinema, we always hear only one thing, which is, Sexual Harassment. Everywhere there’s sexual harassment. But since it’s a media platform, it’s highlighted."

Apart from her acting skills, Rajesh is also a professional dancer.
