Saniya Iyappan

Saniya Iyappan? Oh, she’s kind of a force of nature in the Malayalam film scene, honestly. Born and raised in Kochi, she didn’t just waltz into acting—she literally danced her way in. Started off on that wild ride called D2 - D4 Dance, where she wowed everyone with moves that made you wonder if gravity even applied to her. People noticed, fast. Acting wasn’t far behind. She popped up as a child artist in Balyakalasakhi back in 2014. Cute debut, but the real fireworks exploded with Queen in 2018. Saniya played this fierce, independent college student—absolutely owned the role. Critics and regular folks alike couldn’t stop raving. That film basically cemented her spot in the industry. She wasn’t just another pretty face; she had some serious acting chops. Then there’s Lucifer (2019). Sharing screen space with the legend Mohanlal? No big deal—except, yeah, it’s a huge deal. And she didn’t get overshadowed, which is wild. Pathinettam Padi the same year kept her momentum rolling. She’s kind of known now for diving into these intense, layered characters—never just phoning it in. And don’t even get started on her dance videos. Social media eats that up—she’s got fans all over just waiting for her next post. Saniya’s still young, still hustling, and honestly, she’s only getting better. Malayalam cinema’s next big thing? Looks like it.
