Kanika Subramaniam

Kanika Subramaniam Biography

Divya Venkatasubramaniam, best known by her stage name Kanika, is an Indian film actress, occasional dubbing artist, playback singer, and TV anchor. Making her debut in the 2002 Tamil film Five Star, she went on to work in other South Indian film industries, including Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, as well.
She is perhaps best known for her performances as Eashwari in her debut film Five Star, Gayathri in Varalaru – History of Godfather and Thenmozhi in Autograph. She is currently making waves in the Malayalam film industry with back to back successful films Bhagyadevatha and Pazhassi Raja
Divya was born in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India as the second daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Venkat Subramanian, both engineers. She grew up in a typical Tamil Brahmin household in the suburbs of Madurai. She studied at TVS Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Madurai and was a good student with quite a few accolades including the Tamil Nadu State Award for Educational Excellence in 1999.
She then got admitted on merit to BITS (“Birla Institute of Technology and Science”), in Pilani, Rajasthan, from where she graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree.
Having developed her singing talents from her childhood, by participating in pop music and light music shows, Divya was interested in singing and related performing arts.
While she was still studying, she gave stage performances as a pop singer from time to time. When she was supposed to perform at the Miss Chennai event, a beauty pageant contest, in 2001, she was asked and finally persuaded to participate at the contest because of her height, after a model had backed out. Her tall figure worked to her advantage. Despite lack of experience, she emerged as the second runner-up at that contest, which would later pave her the way for a film career.
It was director Susi Ganesan, who spotted her from a magazine cover page, insisted on her performing the lead female role in his second feature film. Divya eventually entered the Film industry, accepting the offer, while her name was changed to Kaniha. Her debut film was the Mani Ratnam-produced Five Star (2002) with Prasanna, who made his acting debut as well, in which Kaniha portrayed a traditional village girl. She completed the entire film during her summer hoilday, since she was till going to college then.
