Meera Jasmine

Meera Jasmine is a National Award winning Indian actress. She has acted in several successful movies in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada and won India's National Award for Best Actress in 2004.

Biography

Meera Jasmine was born Jasmine Mary Joseph on 15 February 1983 in Kuttappuzha, Tiruvalla, Kerala to Joseph Philip and Aleyamma. She completed her schooling in Mar Thoma Residential School in Tiruvalla. She currently lives in Panampilly Nagar in Kochi (formerly Cochin).

A chance meeting with Malayalam screenwriter Lohithadas gave way to her debut in Malayalam Cinema through the movie Soothradharan, assuming the screen name "Meera Jasmine". But it was with the phenomenal success of her first Tamil movie, Run that made her a major star. This was followed by acclaimed performances in Padam Onnu Oru Vilapam (her national-award winning Malayalam movie), Mani Ratnam's Ayutha Ezhuthu (Tamil), Ammayi Bagundi (Telugu) and Sandaikozhi (Tamil). After the hit of Sandaikozhi, she became a rage in Tamil Nadu once again, with the song, "Dhavani Potta Deepavali", eulogising her, at the top of every chart.

Trivia

Meera Jasmine is a self-confessed fan of Tamil Indian musical genius Ilayaraaja.
Despite being a Christian, she visits temples religiously.
Her personal life is very often the target of the Kerala's yellow press, being romantically linked to directors and actors, at one point even being "married off" by the press to co-star Prithviraj.

Upcoming movies

Tamil movie Naan Kadavul with Ajith as co-star and Bala as director
Tamil movie Adalinal Kadhal Seiveer with Raja as co-star and Revathy Verma as director
Malayalam movie Rasatantram with Mohanlal as co-star and Sathyan Anthikkad as director
Malayalam movie Nilavu with Pritviraj as co-star and Lenin Rajendran as director
Telugu movie with GVG Raju as producer and Gopichand as co-star

National Award for the Best Actress in 2004 for the film Paadhom Onnu: Oru Vilaapam (roughly translates to 'Lesson One: A Lament') in which she portrayed a Muslim girl who is a victim of child marriage.
Kerala State Award for the Best Actress in 2004 for the films Kasthooriman ('Musk Deer') and Paadhom Onnu: Oru Vilaapam
