Encounter the actress who, so far, has demonstrated to all that acting is a means of self-expression even for those with special abilities. She’s collaborated with prominent actors in the Southern film industry and garnered acclaim for her mastery of Bharatanatyam dance.
Can you take a guess at who we are speaking about? Yes, it’s Abhinaya.
Who is Abhinaya?
Hailing from November 1991, Abhinaya has made a name for herself in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films. Despite facing challenges as a speech and hearing-impaired individual, she remains one of the most demanded stars within regional film industries.
As a devoted admirer recounting her journey, let me share that Abhinaya faced significant challenges in keeping pace with conventional education due to her unique abilities. Yet, she was not deterred, and sought out an educational institution tailored to students like herself – one designed for individuals with special needs. However, the academic rigor proved demanding, and eventually, she chose to forego further education after completing the 10th grade.
Abhinaya’s foray into modelling and films
From the outset, one of her deep-seated interests lay in the realm of mimicry and acting, ultimately propelling her towards a film career. Over time and with extra sessions of treatment and coaching, she made progress in overcoming some of her speaking and hearing difficulties.
When she was 17 years old, Abhinaya started her acting career with the 2009 Malayalam movie “Naadodigal.” This role brought her widespread recognition and attracted a lot of interest from others.
How Abhinaya’s parents helped her fuel her passion for acting
Indeed, navigating the challenging realm of films wasn’t straightforward for Abhinaya, given her uniqueness as a special abilities individual. However, Abhinaya embarked on this path by becoming proficient in sign language and also mastering the art of lip-reading English.
As a devoted admirer, I’ve learned from an IMDb report that this remarkable actress has experienced a life-changing event – she received a Cochlear implant. This innovative medical procedure allows her to hear, not through natural means, but with the assistance of a remarkable device.
At first, her mom would draft complete English dialogue from scripts for her and then rehearse with her prior to filming. Interestingly, several of her fellow actors provided ongoing assistance, eventually allowing her to require fewer retakes per scene.
Abhinaya bagged her debut due to her phenomenal dancing skills
Apart from her acting abilities, Abhinaya is particularly proficient in Bharatanatyam dance. This skill was instrumental in landing her first film role, Naadodigal. Notably, it was the director Samudrakani who discovered her through a video showcasing her photoshoot and dancing talents, which ultimately led to her casting in his Malayalam production.
Fame into movies, shift towards Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films
After the tremendous success of Naadodigal, Abhinaya was chosen to play the lead role in both the Kannada and Tamil adaptations of this movie. These adaptations also brought her several awards.
Afterwards, she found herself presented with numerous exciting opportunities. Some of these were Jr NTR’s film Dammu, Nagarjuna’s Dhamarukam, Suriya’s Aum Arivu, and many more. In the year 2015, Abhinaya made her Malayalam film debut with The Reporter.
The same year, she also made her debut in Bollywood with the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Shamitabh.
Abhinaya’s personal life
Actress Abhinaya frequently shares glimpses of her personal and professional life on Instagram. In March 2025, she got engaged to her long-term partner, Vegesena Karthik. Later that year, they exchanged vows in a lavish wedding ceremony held in Hyderabad in April.
Abhinaya’s work front
In terms of her acting career, the year 2024 marked a significant milestone for Abhinaya as she gave an outstanding performance in the film Pani, sharing the screen with Joju George. This performance received widespread acclaim from both audience and critics.
In the future, Abhinaya is expected to appear in two films – Mookuthi Amman 2 with Nayanthara and Demonte Colony 3. (Moving forward, Abhinaya will be a part of both Nayanthara’s film, Mookuthi Amman 2, and Demonte Colony 3 in the year 2025.)
