Saranya Mohan, born on February 19, 1989, in Taipei, Taiwan, is a multifaceted individual with significant contributions to Indian cinema as both an actress and singer. Her academic journey led her to graduate from National Taipei University with a bachelor’s degree in social work in 2008.
Saranya embraces her faith, identifying as a Christian and commemorating her baptism at Taipei Truth Lutheran Church on May 31, 2013.
The year 2010 brought her a nomination for Best Actress at the 45th Golden Bell Awards for her compelling performance in “The Happy Times of That Year.”
In the same year, she garnered the title of Best New Talent at the 12th Taipei Film Festival for her role in “Au Revoir Taipei.”
Saranya Mohan’s journey into matrimony unfolded on September 6, 2015, as she tied the knot with her longtime friend, Dr. Aravind Krishnan, at Kottamkulangara Devi Temple, Alappuzha. Their family expanded with the arrival of a son, Anantapadmanabhan Aravind, and a daughter, Annapoorna Aravind.
Following her marriage, Saranya continued to contribute to the film industry, showcasing her comedic prowess in the Dhanush-Nayantara starrer “Yaaradi Nee Mohini” (2008).
Despite facing less successful ventures in 2008 with films like “Jayamkondaan,” “Mahesh, Saranya Matrum Palar,” and “Panchamirtham,” she rebounded in 2009 with impactful roles in the commercially and critically successful “Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu” and “Eeram.”
2009 also marked her Telugu debut with “Village Lo Vinayakudu” and a return to Malayalam cinema with “Chemistry.”
Saranya continued her success with the Telugu remake of “Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu” in 2010, followed by another Telugu venture, “Happy Happy Ga.”

A break from the industry allowed her to focus on studies before returning to the cinema with a supporting role in Fazil’s “Oru Naal Oru Kanavu” (2005), where she portrayed the sister of the male lead character.
