Veena Nandakumar, a talented Indian actress, made her debut in the 2017 Malayalam film "Kadamkatha" under the direction of Senthil Raj. Although the film did not fare well at the box office, her early career faced a setback.
However, Veena's Tamil cinema debut in the film "Thodraa" marked a turning point. She portrayed the character Divya, a girl from a wealthy family who elopes with a man from a lower caste. Although the film's reception was mixed, Anupama Subramanian from Deccan Chronicle praised her performance, stating it was "decent."
Veena Nandakumar's breakthrough role came in the 2019 Malayalam romantic drama "Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha." She played the character Rincy, a role she described as "very restrained." Anna Mathews from Times of India lauded her performance, stating she played the role with "just the right amount of restraint."
In 2020, Veena took on supporting roles in the family drama "Kozhipporu," playing Annie, and the black comedy psychological thriller "Love," playing Haritha. Her upcoming projects include the film "Nadikar Thilakam" and the web series "Pharma."
