'''''Parvathy Meera''''' is an Indian lyricist working on [[Tamil cinema|Tamil language films]]. She donned various roles in the media before entering the film industry where she earned the tag 'multi-faceted'.

== Early life ==
Meera finished her higher secondary of schooling from Adarsh Vidyalaya, Chennai. Later she pursued B.A and M.A English Literature in Ethiraj College For Women. Due to her interest in the media, she did an MPhil in Mass Communication from Mother Teresa University.
==Career==

She worked as an avant garde theatre artiste working mainly with journalist-political commentator [[Gnani Sankaran|Gnani's]] theatre group Pareeksha. Her last performance as a theatre artiste was in SLATE's production ''Anniyan'', an adaptation of [[Albert Camus]]' immortal novel '[[The Stranger (Camus novel)|L'Étranger]].'

She then stopped doing theatre, but she worked on short films including one for TANSACS and a feature film for Dhan Foundation in which she shared screen space with Chinnapillai Ammal. She played the protagonist in all of them.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cinema.dinamalar.com/tamil-news/35412/cinema/Kollywood/Lyricist-parvathi-developing.htm|title=வளர்ந்து வரும் பாடலாசிரியை பார்வதி - Lyricist parvathi developing|last=Dinamalar|date=30 July 2015|website=[[Dinamalar]]|access-date=11 March 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150805101924/http://cinema.dinamalar.com/tamil-news/35412/cinema/Kollywood/Lyricist-parvathi-developing.htm|archive-date=5 August 2015}}</ref>

Meera was an anchor for [[DD Podhigai|Podhigai TV]] for more than 5 years for the programmes ''Ennai Kavarndhavargal'' and ''Nam Virundhinar''. During this time, she interviewed personalities, including writer [[Ponneelan]], former Vice Chancellor of Madras University Shri. Thiruvasagam and the family members of [[Kothamangalam Subbu]], earning kudos for her interviewing skills, spontaneity, vocabulary and diction, particularly from her subjects. She is skilled at spoken and written English and Tamil which helped in advancing her interviewing skills. Meera's three songs led to a nomination for best upcoming lyricist at the 2014 [[Mirchi Music Awards]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mirchimusicawards.com/tamil-2014/nominations-tamil/|title=MMA Mirchi Music Awards|website=MMAMirchiMusicAwards|accessdate=11 March 2018|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180311121806/http://www.mirchimusicawards.com/tamil-2014/nominations-tamil/|archivedate=11 March 2018}}</ref>

She followed up the superhit song in Jilla with ''Thirumanam enum Nikkah'' and other films. After lyricist [[Thamarai]], she was the next female lyricist to have written for a top hero. This happened in her first film, rare in a male-dominated industry.

Her screen name was Parvathy in her earlier films, but in October 2022,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Parvathy_Meera/status/1577511468677074944?t=-wwkM2JjE65E1dYWDMScfA&s=19 |title=Tamil Poet Parvathy Surname - Tamil Lyricist Parvathy Meera -Surname change|website=twitter.com|accessdate=22 October 2022}}</ref> she announced that she would henceforth be credited as Parvathy Meera. She also mentioned that she added her mother's name Meera as her surname in order to honour her.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://manam.online/Literature/2017-MAY-15/Kavidhaigal-Sollavaa-Poet-Parvathy%20Meera|title=Tamil Poet Parvathy Meera - Tamil Lyricist Parvathy Meera - Kavidhaigal Sollavaa|website=manam.online|accessdate=22 June 2017|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170710110010/http://manam.online/Literature/2017-MAY-15/Kavidhaigal-Sollavaa-Poet-Parvathy|archivedate=10 July 2017}}</ref>
