Nithya Menen, born on 8th April, 1988 is a pan India film actor who appears in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi films and shows. Having established herself as an actor par excellence, Nithya was born and raised in Bengaluru, Karnataka and still resides there. Her parents ,who were also both born and raised in Bengaluru, are government employees. She is also a polyglot who speaks six languages fluently. Her first film was offered to her when she was 8 years old and it was an English movie titled 'Hanuman' directed by the French director and wildlife filmmaker Frédéric Fougea. Nithya is an Alma mater of Mount Caramel College, Bengaluru. For her junior college, Nithya Menen went on to pursue Journalism and Communication studies from Manipal University, during the course of which she realized her inclination declining towards being a journalist. As fate had it, Ms. Menen had almost applied to study cinematography further, when Nandini Reddy spotted her and asked her to be a part of her very first Telugu film in 2011 'Ala Modalaindhi' which went on to become a blockbuster hit and got the audience rooting for this fresh face. As of 2020, she has starred in over 50 films and continues to work across the various industries Indian cinema has to offer. A multi-talented personality, Nithya has also lent her voice as a playback singer for numerous films and has also dubbed for Elsa's character in Telugu for 'Frozen 2' in 2019. She is also a singer and has sung playback for several films. Currently, she is working towards releasing her first music single.
