Samyuktha (born Samyuktha Menon) is an Indian actress who primarily appears in Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil films. She made her acting debut with the Malayalam film Popcorn (2016).[1][2]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Samyuktha was born as Samyuktha Menon on 11 September 1995,[3][4] in Palakkad, Kerala.[5] Samyuktha did her schooling from Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Thathamangalam and she is a graduate in economics.[6]

Career[edit | edit source]

Samyuktha made her film debut in 2016 with the Malayalam film Popcorn, where she played Anjana, the love interest of Shine Tom Chacko in the movie.[7]

She appeared in the Tamil-language action thriller Kalari as Thenmozhi.[8][9] She was cast to play the title role in Lilli, a 2018 Indian Malayalam-language revenge thriller flick, scripted and directed by the debutant Prasobh Vijayan.[7][10] July Kaatril announced in around late 2017 is a romantic comedy Tamil film.[11] The project was released in 2018. Her next release was Theevandi a Malayalam-language political satire film directed by debutante Fellini T. P. and written by Vini Vishwa Lal.[12][13]

Samyuktha's first release for 2019 was Oru Yamandan Premakadha[14] directed by B. C. Noufal and written by Bibin George and Vishnu Unnikrishnan. She made a cameo appearance in Uyare [15] as Tessa sharing screen space again with Tovino Thomas. Samyuktha played the role of Shivajith Padmanabhan's side-kick in 2019 action film Kalki which had Tovino Thomas in lead directed by Praveen Prabharam.[16][17][18] She was later cast in Bheemla Nayak which was released in February 2022. In August 2022, she made her Kannada film debut in the film Gaalipata 2.[19]

In 2023, Samyuktha dropped her surname Menon from her name and said, "When I want to see equality, humanity and love all around, keeping a surname makes it very contradictory to what I want."[20][21]
