Meera Jasmine, born in Kuttappuzha, Thiruvalla, Pathanamthitta, Kerala, is a renowned Indian film actress with a notable career spanning various regional Indian movies. The daughter of Joseph and Aleyamma, she attended Mar Thomas Residential School in Thiruvalla during her schooling years.

Meera entered the film industry with her debut in the Malayalam film "Soothradharan" (2001), directed by Lohithadas and starring alongside Dileep. Despite the film's initial setback, her talent did not go unnoticed, and she quickly garnered offers from other language industries. Kamal's film, her second venture, alongside Navya Nair and Dileep, contributed to her rising fame in the South.

Her foray into Tamil cinema, marked by successful films like "Run" and "Bala" in 2002, earned her the prestigious Filmfare Best Female Debut Actress award for "Run." Subsequently, Meera worked with renowned directors such as Mani Ratnam in "Aayudha Ezhuthu" and SS Stanley in "Mercury Pookkal," solidifying her position in the Tamil film industry with over ten films to her credit.

The Telugu film industry also witnessed her success, especially with the dubbed version of "Run." Meera made her mark in Telugu cinema with films like "Ammayi Bagundi" and "Gudumba Shankar" in 2004. She expanded her reach into Kannada cinema, starring alongside Puneet Rajkumar in "Maurya," followed by another hit in "Arasu."

Despite facing challenges with films like "Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram" and "Nepali," Meera's career soared with notable Telugu hits like "Bhadra" with Ravi Teja in the lead. Her repertoire of Telugu films also includes "Raraju," "Maharadhi," "Yamagola Malli Modalaindi," "Gorintaku," and the upcoming "Maa Aayana Chantipilladu," where she was paired for the second time with Sivaji. Meera Jasmine's versatility and acting prowess have firmly established her as a respected figure in the Indian film industry.

Music is my first love. Especially the songs of Ilayaraja. They are so
soulful. I always have a Walkman on my ears all the time. I am not into
hard, rock songs. Melody is my cup of tea. I know lot of Ilayaraja
songs by heart.
