Encyclopedic overview

Shriya Saran Bhatnagar ( pronounced [ʃrɪja səɾən] born 11 September 1982) is an Indian actress who primarily works in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films. Although Shriya aspired to become a dancer, she became an actress and made her film debut with the Telugu film Ishtam (2001). She had her first commercial success with Santosham (2002).

Saran subsequently appeared in several successful Telugu films such as Nenunnanu (2004) and Chatrapathi (2005), alongside Hindi and Tamil films. After marking her Hindi debut with Tujhe Meri Kasam (2003), she gained critical acclaim for her role in Awarapan (2007). Saran marked her Tamil debut with Enakku 20 Unakku 18 (2003) and starred in Sivaji (2007), the highest-grossing Tamil film at that time. In 2008, Saran played the lead role in her first English film, The Other End of the Line. Her following projects included popular films such as Kanthaswamy (2009) in Tamil and Pokkiri Raja (2010) in Malayalam—roles that established her as one of the leading actresses in the South Indian film industries. In 2012, Saran starred in Midnight's Children, an English adaptation of novel of the same name, for which she received international critical acclaim.
