Remya Nambeesan (Malayalam: രമ്യ നമ്പീശന്‍; born 24 March 1989) is an Indian film actress. Debuting in 2001 with the film Sayahnam she has mostly appeared in Malayalam films.


 Early life and family

Remya Nambeeshan was born on March 24, 1989, to Subrahmaniam Unni and Jayasree. Her father is a former theatre artiste, who was an active member of troupes such as "Jubilee" and "Harishree". She has a brother, Rahul. She studied Communicative English at the St. Teresa's College, Ernakulam. She went to MGP school in Ambadimala.

 Career

Remya first appeared as a child artiste in several Malayalam short and feature films during the late 1990s and went on to reprise minor supporting roles in films such as Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka, the art film Sthithi by R. Sarath and Kamal's Gramaphone.
She played her first leading role, as a bold dance teacher, in the 2006 film Aanachandam, a highly unsuccessful venture, which went unnoticed soon after its release. Regarding to her performance in the film, a critic from Rediff noted that she was "refreshing in bits", while another reviewer cited that she was "refreshing enough for a village based flick". Her subsequent projects, Changathipoocha and Panthaya Kozhi released to mixed reviews and offered hardly any scope for her, failing to propel her career. The next release, Chocolate, which featured Remya as one of three leading females, eventually gained her considerable attention,[1] after the film went on to become a high commercial success.
Currently Remya is concentrating more in Tamil and Telugu films. After a couple of films in Tamil Rmya realized that the Tamil industry is seeing her in the category of Fat heroines similar to the likes of Roja Selvamani and Khushboo Sundar.
In an attempt to do a physique revamp Remya underwent stict diet control and physical training to shed 7 kg of weight which ultimaltely made her fitter, leaner and smarter.
Away from Malayalam films Remya is not hesitant to portray glamour roles and to wear modern attire. On a recent interview with a leading Malayalam Magazine, Remya dismissed questions about doing Bikini roles and said that she will never cross the line between Glamour and Vulgur and will always maintain dignity with her roles and outfits.

 Other work

Before her entry into the film industry, she was hosting a phone-in music show Hello, Good Evening on the Malayalam channel Kairali TV. Having learned carnatic music from her childhood, she has sung several numbers for devotional albums and also ventured into playback singing, having lent her voice for a song from the upcoming Malayalam biopic on P. Kunhiraman Nair, Ivan Megharoopan, composed by Sharreth.
