A look at Nazriya's acting career
Nazriya, who was raised in the UAE, started her career as a television anchor at the age of 11.
She made her acting debut in 2006 in Malayalam in director Blessy's Palunku as Mammootty's character Monichan's daughter Geethu, and later appeared in the films Pramani and Oru Naal Varum as a child artiste.
She was also the host of the popular music reality show Munch Star Singer on Asianet.
However, it was the romantic music album Yuvvh featuring Nazriya and Nivin Pauly that changed the duo's career graph.
She made her mark as a heroine with the 2013 movie Maad Dad, and there has been no looking back for her ever since.
Nazriya impressed the audience in Kerala and Tamil Nadu equally with her performances in the bilingual movie Neram, Raja Rani, Naiyaandi, Samsaaram Aarogyathinu Haanikaram and Thirumanam Enum Nikkah, among others.
However, it was Jude Anthany Joseph's Ohm Shanthi Oshaana and Anjali Menon's Bangalore Days that remain the best films of Nazriya.
