Life and career
[edit]Reeshma Nanaiah was born to a Kodava-speaking family in Bangalore, Karnataka. She completed her degree in mass communication at Jyothi Nivas and is currently pursuing her masters.[1] She did her schooling in Bangalore. She started her career as a model. She participated in The Livon Bangalore Times Fresh Face' and emerged as the runner up in that event.[2]
She made her lead debut with Prem's Ek Love Ya (2022).[3][4] Regarding her performance in the film, critics wrote that she "looks ravishing and justifies her role" and that she "shows promise of being a good commercial heroine".[5][6] She subsequently starred in Nanda Kishore's Raana (2022).[7][8] The film was released to mixed-to-negative reviews with a critic terming that her role was simply "the hero’s love interest" whilst one critic wrote that "Reeshma Nanaiah too has justified a poignant role".[9][10][11]
