Saran had her first commercial success with Santosham (2002).[1]

Saran subsequently appeared in several successful Telugu films such as

Kanthaswamy (2009) in Tamil and Pokkiri Raja (2010) in Malayalam—roles that established her as one of the leading actresses in the South Indian film industries.[2] In 2012, Saran starred in Midnight's Children, an English adaptation of novel of the same name
, for which she received international critical acclaim.

Saran achieved further commercial success by starring in films such as

She was first trained as a child by her mother in Kathak and Rajasthani folk dance, and later trained in the Kathak style by Shovana Narayan.[11] She was involved with many dance teams in college and with her teacher. They would incorporate social issues into their dance routines.[7]

Career

Early career (2001–03)

While in her second year at the LSR College in Delhi, Saran got her first opportunity to appear in front of the camera for a video shoot. Following her dance teacher's recommendation, she was invited to appear in the music video of Renoo Nathan's "Thirakti Kyun Hawa".

CineMAA Award for Best Actor- Female, giving her a good foothold in the Telugu
industry in the early part of her career.

In 2003, Saran acted in a supporting role in her first

Nee Manasu Naaku Telusu
, in which she played a football coach. Though she acted in films in three languages that year, eight of the first ten films of her career were in Telugu.

Career fluctuations (2004–07)

In 2004, Saran acted in two Telugu and two Hindi films, including

Thiruvilayadal Arambam
.

In 2007, she was chosen to play the lead female role opposite

Aishwarya Rai rejected the role due to busy schedules.[16][17] which was the most expensive Indian film at that time.[18][19] R.G. Vijayasarathy wrote in his review for Rediff.com that, aside from her beauty, Saran "proves that she can act too".[20] Her performance earned her a South Scope Style Award for Best Tamil Actress, her first award win, and a nomination at the Vijay Awards.[21] The role made her a star in the south Indian film industry.[22] During this phase of her career, she made several special appearances in item numbers, including in the films Devadasu, Munna, and Tulasi
.

Also in 2007, Saran made her comeback in Hindi cinema with

Kannada film Arasu
. She appeared in six films in 2007 in four languages.

American cinema debut (2008–12)

In 2008, Saran made her American cinema debut in Ashok Amritraj's The Other End of the Line.[27] She played the role of Priya Sethi, who works as a telephone operator in an Indian call centre, while acting alongside Jesse Metcalfe,[28] Anupam Kher and Tara Sharma. Shriya's performance was praised by critics, particularly her on-screen chemistry with Jesse Metcalfe.[29] John Anderson, writing for Variety magazine, said it was "a winning Stateside debut for beautiful Indian actress Shriya Saran."[30]

Saran acted in the Hindi film

Stardust Exciting New Face Award.[33]

Her most important 2009 release was the commercially successful

Kanthaswamy, alongside Vikram. She earned a nomination at the Vijay Awards. Vikram said in an interview that her role was on par with his, and she easily stole the show on most occasions.[35] Of her character in the film, Saran said that it was the best she has done so far.[34] Also that year she appeared as the female lead in Thoranai. A reviewer said that her glamour and the songs were the only high points of the film.[36] For Thoranai and Kanthaswamy together, she received her third award win, the Amrita Mathrubhumi Award for Best Actress.[37] She then appeared in another English film, Cooking with Stella, which is a comedy that takes a look at the serious nature of relationships between servants and employers. It was selected for the Toronto International Film Festival, which Saran attended.[38]

In 2010, Saran made her Malayalam debut with Pokkiri Raja, in which she appeared opposite Mammootty and Prithviraj.[39] The film broke the record in Malayalam cinema for opening week gross income,[40] though it was not received well critically. It was said of Saran that all she had to do was look pretty.[41] She then enacted her first lead role in a Telugu film after five years, in the commercially successful action-comedy Don Seenu opposite Ravi Teja, where she plays the sister of a mobster. In the opinion of some critics, she stole the show with her dances and romantic scenes.[42]

The year 2010 was her second busiest after 2005, having appeared in eight films, this time in four languages.

In 2011, Saran appeared in Rowthiram, where she worked with Tamil actor Jiiva for the first time.[citation needed] The film received fairly low reviews. Although some reviews said that Saran was not given much opportunity to show her acting skills, mainly just adding a romantic touch to a mostly violent film,[43][44] she was referred to by another as the pivot around which the film revolves.[45] Her performance earned her Best Actress Award at the International Tamil Film Awards.[46] Her only other film in 2011 was a special appearance in a song for the Tamil film Rajapattai.[47]

Saran's first release of 2012 was her second Malayalam project, Casanovva, co-starring Mohanlal and directed by Rosshan Andrrews. The movie was delayed many times, and it was rumored that Saran would leave the project,[48] but in October 2010, the producer of the film announced that shooting would commence in Dubai with Shriya Saran among the cast.[49] It was released on 26 January. Her next release was in Gali Gali Chor Hai, from director Rumy Jafry, which began shooting in September 2011,[50] and released on 3 February.[51][52] She then was seen in the critically average comedic Telugu film Nuvva Nena, with actors Allari Naresh and Sharwanand,[53] followed by Sekhar Kammula's much delayed Life is Beautiful.[citation needed]

Saran has starred in Deepa Mehta's long delayed English project Midnight's Children,[54] which is based on Salman Rushdie's highly acclaimed novel of the same name.[55] It was filmed under the working title of Winds of Change. It was screened at several film festivals in late 2012 in Canada[56] and finally made its general release in India on 1 February 2013.[57]

I was there to give a lecture to 2nd year students of CFI and did a lot of research for the lecture for nearly five days." She held a lecture on the marketing and branding of a film.[72] In 2011, she gave a lecture to students at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Madras on the history of films, and films as a medium of cultural exchange.[73]

Personal life

Saran has always been very reluctant to talk about her private life, and usually denied that reported linkups are romantic in nature.[91] Saran is well known for her charity work. She describes herself as someone used to "sharing time and resources with the underprivileged since childhood." She says that "celebrities can show the way by sensitising people to social issues, campaigning for causes or being part of fund-raisers." Her family has always encouraged her to think of the needy.[92]

Saran is a brand ambassador for the Naandi Foundation,

The Joy of Giving Week', to encourage people from all walks of life to engage in acts of giving.[94] She regularly participates in carnivals and campaigns that associate with children benefits.

In 2011, she opened a Spa which exclusively employs the visually challenged. It is called Shree Spa, and is located in Mumbai.[96] Saran has said "When I studied in DPS Mathura Road in Delhi, there was a school for blind exactly opposite to our school. I used to go there every week and spend time seeing how these students played cricket and did other things normally. That is what inspired me to do something for these people".[97] In an interview to TOI, the actress said: "We feel sympathetic towards them, but we never employ them. We are scared because we have not grown up with them. While these people might be visually impaired, their other senses are very strong. So they can effectively give foot and back massages and treatments like reflexology. It's important to understand that you are not doing a favour on them but they are doing a favour on you".[98]

On 19 March 2018, she married her Russian boyfriend Andrei Koscheev at her Lokhandwala residence.[99] On 12 October 2021, Shriya Saran announced on her social media platform that she and her husband had a daughter, born on 10 January 2021.[citation needed] She is fluent in Hindi, English, and can understand Telugu and Tamil well.[52]

For me, there's only a single category, the Indian film industry, which is extremely rich owing to its diverse genres and languages."[22] On 19 January 2013, she quit Twitter due to derogatory comments from her followers.
