Her smile makes sure she looks like a million.

She'll win you over with that fetching head tilt too.

The pretty actress is 'currently obsessed with the vibe of summer blacks'. She considers herself 'the prettiest, funniest and coolest of them all.'

Her mom is her 'greatest inspiration', but it's her dad whose passion for cinema she inherits.

She is Kalyani Priyadarshan, 30, who is filmmaker Priyadarshan's daughter.

She has starred in Hridayam (remember her from the trending song Onakka Munthiri?), Bro Daddy , starring Mallu cinema giants Prithviraj Sukumaran and Mohanlal, Varane Avashyamund and Thallumaala, among other Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil films.

A Kochi Blue Spikers fan, she completed five years in the film industry in December 2022 and is 'grateful for every bit of growth'.

Yes, she gets us humming her song from Hridayam.
This twirling angel is also the 'ek behad pyaari kanya' who made for a beaming bride in Hridayam.

IMAGE: If you can't ever imagine Kalyani dressed in regular clothes, this pic of her in Coorg is meant for you.
A lovely view to die for, comfy clothes and shoes to match, fresh air, no one to bother her.
What more could a girl ask for?

IMAGE: When Kalyani is around, a fairy tale ending is always guaranteed.
And when she shows up in a princess gown like this, you can just keep admiring her, because no one else in the room matters.
