Early life[edit]

Career[edit]

About Bens' performance in her debut film Kumbalangi Nights, The Hindu wrote, "She stood out even in the presence of seasoned performers". She was chosen to play Babymol via an audition for Kumbalangi Nights.[2][6] The success of that film paved the way for Helen, a survival drama starring Ben, and Kappela, both winning the audience and critics.[7][3] Director Sathyan Anthikad praised her acting in the former,[8] and Manorama Online reported, "Anna Ben makes Kappela a delightful journey" about the latter.[3] Ben has also appeared in music videos.[9]
