Life and career

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] 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".[4] [5] She subsequently starred in Nanda Kishore's Raana (2022).[6] [7] 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".[8] [9] [10]

In 2023, she made a special appearance in the horror film Spooky College in the recreation of the yesteryear song "Mellusire Savigana" and starred in Preetham Gubbi's Baanadariyalli.[11] [12] Regarding her performance in the latter film, critics wrote that her "presence adds a charm, and she gives a lighter touch in the second half of the emotionally charged story" and that she "does well in her bubbly role".[13] [14] On the contrary, some critics felt that her role of an influencer was "just a filler in the void content" and was "caricaturish".[15] [16]
