 Meera Jasmine, a talented actress with a beautiful smile, is one of the most happening stars in South Indian films. She started her film career from a Malayalam movie 'Sutradhaaran' directed by Lohithadas, though the film 'Suthradhaaran' flopped, her subsequent films showcased her talents as an actress to watch out for. She has acted in several successful movies in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada and won India's National Award for Best Actress in 2004.

A chance meeting with Malayalam screenwriter Lohithadas gave way to her debut in Malayalam Cinema through the movie Soothradharan, assuming the screen name "Meera Jasmine". This was followed by acclaimed performances in Padam Onnu Oru Vilapam (her national-award winning Malayalam movie). She also acted in Malayalam movies 'Kasthooriman' and 'Achuvinte Amma' where her performance was well appreciated.
She bagged the State award for her performance in 'Padam onnu oru Vilapam' and 'Kastooriman' from the State Government and the National Award for the Best Actress in 2004 for the film Paadhom Onnu: Oru Vilaapam in which she portrayed a Muslim girl who is a victim of child marriage and she also won the Kerala State Award for the Best actress in 2004 for the films Kasthooriman ('Musk Deer').
She acted in plenty of Malayalam movies like Perumazhakkalam ,Chakram, and Gramaphone. She awaits the release of her first movie with Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, Rasatantram, in which she plays the role of a boy! She has signed up a new movie Satyagrahi which will be a trilingual in Telugu, Hindi and Bengali, directed and acted in by Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan. Her cherished desire is to direct a movie one day.
Meera Jasmine is a self-confessed fan of Tamil Indian musical genius Ilayaraaja. Despite being a Christian, she visits temples religiously. Her personal life is very often the target of the Kerala's yellow press, being romantically linked to directors and actors, at one point even being "married off" by the press to co-star Prithviraj.
Being one of the most promising new faces of Malayalam cinema, it is only too likely that the new century would prove fruitful to Meera and bag her more roles - both meaningful and commercially successful ones.
