Early Life
I hail from Ernakulam, Kerala, India, born to Cr Prabhakaran Nair and Sheela Prabhakaran Nair. My childhood was steeped in the rich cultural heritage of Kerala, with a particular focus on classical dance forms such as Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattam, and Kuchipudi. Under the mentorship of Kalamandalam Sugandhi, I began my formal training in dance at the tender age of three, setting the stage for my lifelong passion for the arts. Educationally, I completed my primary schooling at St. Joseph's School in Kalamassery and pursued Higher Secondary Education in humanities at Sacred Heart College, Thevara. My journey into the world of dance and later into the film industry was influenced significantly by these formative years of learning and exploration.

Embarking on my career journey has been nothing short of a thrilling adventure. In 2008, I made my entry into the film industry with the movie "Madampi," directed by B.
