Sriya Reddy is an Indian actress, television presenter and video jockey who primarily works in Tamil and Telugu cinema.
Born to former Indian test cricketer Bharath Reddy, Sriya worked as a successful video jockey at SS Music before pursuing an acting career in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films.
Following her debut in Samurai (2002), she appeared in nearly a dozen Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films, with Black (2004), Thimiru (2006) and Kanchivaram (2008) and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (2023) being her best known productions.
The action flick Thimiru, directed by Tarun Gopi and starring Vishal Krishna, her later brother-in-law, portrayed Sriya as a rustic, loud woman with negative shades, with her performance being widely critically acclaimed.

Eight years later, she made a comeback with a film titled Andaava Kaanom by director Vadivel, in which she will portray an angry village woman Shanthi.
