Career

Samskruthy Shenoy started her career as a model of Lukmance Model Management agency.

She had also been chosen to play the lead role in the Tamil film Kutti Puli starring M. Sasikumar, but had to back out from the project due to exams and illness of her grandmother. She was chosen as the brand ambassador to launch the Amma Kitex Dezire youth bags in April 2013.

Her first release that had her in a starring role was Black Butterfly (2013) directed by Rajaputhra Ranjith. [1] She played a Plus Two student named Aarathy in the film, who falls for her neighbour. [1] Shenoy, who was 13 years old when she filmed for Black Butterfly, said that it wasn't easy to play a romantic character at her age and that she was "very uncomfortable initially". [4] The film was released on 15 February 2013 and turned out to be a commercial failure, although her performance was received well by critics, [2] with The Hindu's critic noting that she was "a surprise package". [5] Hrudayam Ekkadunnadi in which she played Nithya, a "soft spoken service-oriented cool and calm character", [6] released a month later.

2014 Shenoy was first seen in Vegam directed by adfilm maker Anil Kumar. [7] She later made her Tamil film debut with Kaadu , a film based on the subject of deforestation that saw Shenoy playing a rural girl.
