Navya Nair was born in 1984 in Alappuzha, Kerala, India as Dhanya Nair. She is an actress, known for Drishya (2014), Nandanam (2002) and Kunjikkoonan (2002).
I had never thought of becoming an actress. Of course I took part in the school youth festivals and was even the overall champion. But coming to films was accidental. My photograph appeared on the cover page of a leading weekly and that was noticed by director Sibi Malayil and his associates. That's how 'Ishtam' happened.
