Anjali Nair

Anjali Nair, born July 16, 1988, in Kochi, Kerala, has this presence on-screen that’s hard to pin down—somewhere between effortlessly real and straight-up magnetic. She’s that actor who can light up a scene without even trying too hard. If you’ve watched “Chithha” (2023), you know what I mean. She brings this raw, understated energy that just sticks with you, even after the credits roll. Honestly, she’s been around the block for a while, but every new role she picks up feels like a surprise. Her turn in “Drishyam 2” (2021)? Absolute fire. That film had a ton of big names, but Anjali still managed to carve out her space and leave a lasting impression. And “Hridayam” (2022)—she just keeps it fresh, never falling into the trap of playing the same old character twice. You can tell she’s serious about her craft, but there’s also this playful, spontaneous vibe in her performances that makes you root for her characters even when the script doesn’t give her much to work with. Off the screen, her personal life’s seen a few chapters too. She tied the knot with Ajith Raju in 2021. Before that, she was married to Aneesh Upasana. Life’s got its ups and downs, right? But through it all, Anjali seems to keep marching forward, picking interesting scripts, and refusing to be boxed in. If there’s one thing about Anjali Nair, it’s that she’s not fading into the background anytime soon. She’s just getting started.
