Priyanka Nair

She made her debut in the Tamil film Veyyil in 2006. She gained critical acclaim for her roles in Bhoomi Malayalam, Vilapangalkappuram and Jalam.

Priyanka completed her Higher Secondary School Certificate studies and studied Physics at the Mar Ivanios College, Trivandrum. During that time, she was also acting part-time in several Malayalam television series, including Umakkuyil, Megham and Akashadoothu. She considered acting in serials as "just time pass" and went on to add that she never intended to act in films, but rather wanted to be a lecturer.

Priyanka married Tamil film director and actor Lawrence Ram on 23 May 2012 at Attukal Temple in Thiruvananthapuram. They have a son Mukund, born on 18 May 2013. The couple filed for divorce in 2015.

She made her feature film debut in the Vasanthabalan-directed Tamil drama film Veyyil (2006) that was produced by director Shankar, in which she starred along with Pasupathy. Her debut Malayalam film was Kichamani MBA (2007) that featured her in a supporting role. The following year she starred in T. V. Chandran's Vilapangalkkappuram along with Suhasini and Biju Menon; her performance earned her the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress. Rediff named her the top Malayalam actress of 2009, citing that she "came up with a scintillating performance". She rose to popularity after appearing opposite Mohanlal in Ividam Swargamanu. Priyanka loves riding her Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle.
