Biography
Sanam Prasad Shetty is an Indian actress and model, who has worked predominantly in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam films. In 2020, she was a contestant on the reality series Bigg Boss 4 Tamil.
In the mid-2010s, Sanam continued to appear in small-budget films in the four South Indian film industries. Her notable Tamil films during the period included the action film Katham Katham (2015), the comedy-drama Vellaiya Irukiravan Poi Solla Maatan (2015), and the slasher film Sadhuram 2 (2016). Meanwhile, proposed roles in higher profile films such as Susi Ganesan's Thiruttu Payale 2 (2015) did not materialize.
In Telugu films, Sanam portrayed a small role alongside Mahesh Babu in Srimanthudu (2015), and lead roles in the comedy film Singam 123 (2015) and Premikudu (2016). Sanam featured in her first Kannada film, Atharva (2018), appearing alongside debutant Pavan Teja. In 2017, she launched her first film as a producer, Magie, the tale of a girl brought up in Meghalaya. However, the project was later stalled following her fallout with the lead actor Tharshan.
In 2019, Sanam was belatedly crowned as the winner of the Miss South India 2016 beauty pageant, after the organizer opted to dethrone Meera Mithun owing to fraudulent activities. Sanam participated in the reality television show, Bigg Boss Tamil hosted by Kamal Haasan in 2020. She received positive reviews from audiences for her stint on the show, with viewers praising her "straight-forward answers and bold questioning" of issues among contestants.
