Simta, the famous pop singer who acquired a decent fan base across India with several hit albums, has entered the restaurant scene in AP capital Vijayawada. Partnering with her childhood friends, Smita opened TFL, The Food Lounge. The restaurant serves authentic and exotic dishes in Mexican, Continental, South East Asian cuisine.

Expressing her happiness on stepping into the city's gastronomic scene, Smita said that she has been noticing the severe dearth of a food plaza that offers a wholesome international platter in a posh ambiance. TFL features some of the best chefs in the country and its pastry chef is popular in the world.

After a successful career as a singer and pop artiste, Smita has been taking a break from singing and became active in politics during the general elections last year. The actress was also in news recently when rumours said that she may join BJP soon.
