Early and personal life

Priyanka completed her Higher Secondary School Certificate studies and studied Physics at the Mar Ivanios College, Trivandrum.[4] During that time, she was also acting part-time in several Malayalam television series, including Umakkuyil, Megham and Akashadoothu.[5] She considered acting in serials as "just time pass" and went on to add that she never intended to act in films, but rather wanted to be a lecturer.[4]

Priyanka married Tamil film director and actor Lawrence Ram on 23 May 2012 at Attukal Temple in Thiruvananthapuram.[6] They have a son Mukund, born on 18 May 2013.[7] The couple filed for divorce in 2015.

Career

She made her feature film debut in the Vasanthabalan-directed Tamil drama film Veyyil (2006) that was produced by director Shankar,[8] in which she starred along with Pasupathy. Her debut Malayalam film was Kichamani MBA (2007) that featured her in a supporting role. The following year she starred in T. V. Chandran's Vilapangalkkappuram along with Suhasini and Biju Menon; her performance earned her the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress.[9] Rediff named her the top Malayalam actress of 2009, citing that she "came up with a scintillating performance".[10] She rose to popularity after appearing opposite Mohanlal in Ividam Swargamanu. Priyanka loves riding her Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle.[11]
