Khanna has starred in a number of commercially successful films such as Bengal Tiger (2015), Supreme (2016), Jai Lava Kusa (2017), Tholi Prema (2018), Imaikkaa Nodigal (2018), Venky Mama (2019), Prati Roju Pandage (2019), Thiruchitrambalam (2022), Sardar (2022) and Aranmanai 4 (2024) that established her as one of the leading actresses in Telugu and Tamil cinema. Khanna has also sung a few songs in different languages. She has since starred in the streaming series Rudra: The Edge of Darkness (2022) and Farzi (2023).

Early life

Khanna was born on 30 November 1990 and hails from Delhi. [3] [4] She did her schooling at St. Mark's Senior Secondary Public School, Delhi and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with honours in English at Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi. [5] [6]

According to Khanna, she was an academic topper who was extremely studious, geek during her schooling and college days. When Khanna was young, she wanted to become a singer but as she grew up, she was more interested into studying and aspired to become an IAS officer. Khanna claims that she neither had interest in modelling nor thought of becoming an actress and it was her destiny that made her an actress. During her college days, she tried a hand at copywriting for advertisements, [7] before she made her venture into acting in various advertisements prior to films. [8] [9]

Career

Debut and rise in Telugu cinema (2013–2015)

Khanna made her on-screen debut with a supporting role in the 2013 Hindi political spy thriller film Madras Cafe directed by Shoojit Sircar, where she played the role of Ruby Singh, the wife of an Indian intelligence officer portrayed by John Abraham, who was also the producer. [10] She had to undergo acting workshops before taking up the role. [11] The film—particularly the story and direction—impressed most Indian critics. [12] Reviewing the film, Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV stated that Khanna "makes an impact in a brief but significant appearance". [13] Madras Cafe was a box-office hit grossing more than ₹100 crore.

Impressed with her performance in Madras Cafe, actor Srinivas Avasarala approached her for the female lead role in his directorial debut Oohalu Gusagusalade , which also featured himself and Naga Shaurya in the lead roles, [14] which she signed in late October 2013 after considering many other south films, adding that the scope of performing made her sign the film. [15] Khanna initially felt that it would be more of a dancing role with little scope for acting when approached for narration, but found her character practically in every scene in the film. [14] She called her character Prabhavati as a grey, stubborn, arrogant girl but in a lovable way, which she claimed to be very different from what she was in real life except for the fact that she hails from Delhi. [16] Khanna confirmed in early April 2014 that she appeared in a small role in the Telugu film Manam , [17] which had its theatrical release before Oohalu Gusagusalade. [lower-alpha 1] Oohalu Gusagusalade opened to positive reviews from critics and Khanna received praise for her work. Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu called her an "actor with potential", [19] while Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India stated that she gave a "commendable" performance which helped the movie to some extent. [20] The film was a commercial success at the box office. [21]

Her next Telugu film was Joru , directed by Kumar Nagendra opposite Sundeep Kishan, which she signed after Madras Cafe and while shooting for Oohalu Gusagusalade. She played the role of Annapurna, whom Khanna described as a "modern yet traditional" girl who "is highly emotional and cries at the drop of a hat", which she called the exact opposite of the character of Prabhavati she played in her previous film. [22] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stated that she provides solace along with Kishan, Brahmanandam and Saptagiri in a film which was "let down by incoherent writing and amateurish execution". [23] Joru was a commercial failure at the box office. [24]

Khanna's next was Jil , directed by Radha Krishna Kumar opposite Gopichand, [25] which she signed in early July 2014 after the makers approached her considering her performance in Oohalu Gusagusalade. [26] The film received mixed reviews from the critics. [27] In early May 2015, she was signed for the film Shivam alongside Ram Pothineni. The film received negative reviews from the critics and performed poorly at the box office.[ citation needed ]

Her next release was Bengal Tiger opposite Ravi Teja directed by Sampath Nandi. [28] The film opened to mixed reviews but was commercially successful at the box office. It grossed ₹405 million (US$4.9 million) globally and became the 8th highest grossing Telugu film of 2015.[ citation needed ] In 2016, her first release was Supreme , in which she starred alongside Sai Dharam Tej, and was a commercial success, [29] with critics praising her comic-timing in her performance as Bellam Sridevi, a cop who gets into hilarious situations. [30] Her next release was Hyper , opposite Ram Pothineni for the second time which opened to mixed reviews and was an average grosser at the box office. [31]

In 2017, her first release was Jai Lava Kusa , opposite N. T. Rama Rao Jr. which opened to positive reviews and became a box office hit by grossing more than ₹100 crore.

The movie opened to positive reviews with critics praising her performance as a tough, investigating cop and the movie had a good run at box-office. [33] Her last release of 2017 was Oxygen , marking her second collaboration with Gopichand, opening to mixed reviews and the movie went on to be an average grosser at the box office. [34]
