His transition is as inspiring as it gets! It’s fascinating to see how he managed to strike a chord with millions of hearts through his romantic roles, making him a household name.


One of the most notable actors in the Malayalam movie industry hails from India, and many might not know that he started off as an engineer before venturing into acting. Today, he’s also a film producer. Throughout his career, this actor has starred in numerous successful films where he often played the romantic lead. The person you’re thinking of is none other than Nivin Pauly.

A look into Nivin Pauly’s early life

Born and raised in the beautiful state of Kerala, Nivin Pauly grew up in a Catholic family. While his parents were employed in Switzerland, young Nivin spent his formative years in Kerala. Upon completing his education, he embarked on a career as a software engineer in Bangalore. However, after several years of working as an engineer, he came to the realization that this wasn’t his true calling and decided to return home to follow his dreams instead.

It’s been indicated that Nivin Pauly shares a family connection with Tovino Thomas, both being active in Malayalam films. In 2010, Nivin exchanged wedding vows with his college girlfriend, Rinna Joy. As a couple, they are parents to two children.

Nivin Pauly’s breakthrough

Back in 2012, I was over the moon when I got my big break in the film industry with Thattathin Marayathu. This captivating romantic drama, under the skilled direction of Vineeth Sreenivasan, not only stole my heart but also catapulted me into the homes and hearts of countless others. After its release, I found myself known as Nivin Pauly, a name synonymous with magic on the silver screen.

The success of Thattathin Marayathu earned Nivin Pauly several hit films including Premam, Ohm Shanthi Oshaana, Bangalore Days, and more. His film Premam is considered one of the best Malayalam films ever.  

Nivin Pauly’s latest controversy

Previously, multiple sources indicated that actor Nivin Pauly was involved in an alleged assault case against a woman, with police charging him and five others as suspects. The woman reportedly claimed that she was invited to Dubai under the promise of a movie offer. However, it is alleged that she suffered an attack in a hotel instead.

Despite a misleading news report claiming he abused a girl, Nivin Pauly has denied the accusations on his Instagram account. He stated clearly that these allegations are completely false and he is committed to proving their baseless nature. He also promised to take whatever actions necessary to identify those responsible and bring them to justice. Thank you for your concern; the rest will be handled through legal channels.
