Nair comes from Muthukulam, a village in Alleppey District, and is the daughter of Raju and Veena. The film director K. Madhu is an uncle. She studied at MSM Higher Secondary School, where her mother was a teacher, and then obtained a BA in English.[1]
She married Mumbai-based businessman, Santhosh Menon, on January 21, 2010 and their first child, Sai Krishna, was born on November 22, 2010.[2]
She was still at school when offered her first film role, starring opposite Dileep in Ishtam in 2001. There followed further roles in partnership with Dileep, in films such as Mazhathullikilukam, Kunjikoonan and Kalyanaraman, and she won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress in 2002 for Nandanam.[3] She won that award again in 2005 for her performance in Kanne Madanguka and Saira.[4]
Her debut in Tamil cinema came with Azhagiya Theeyee and her first role in Kannada cinema was in Gaja. Her move into non-Malayalam films occurred because demand for her services fell as new Malayalam actors emerged.
She has around 50 movies to her credit.
