'Untrue Statements': Telugu Actress Kavya Kalyanram Denies Claims Of Being Body-shamed

Kavya Kalyanram shot to prominence as a child artist in various Telugu films sharing the screen with the likes of Allu Arjun, Nagarjuna and Pawan Kalyan. She garnered critical acclaim for her acting prowess but became the target of some social media trolls as well who body-shamed her. Some time back, there were reports that even the filmmakers had criticised her for her weight during the auditions and stated that the heroines need to be slim and beautiful. Kavya, however, denied this in a Twitter post and wrote. “I have come across that suddenly a few major media houses are propagating irrelevant and untrue statements about me being body-shamed by directors, which I have never uttered. Requesting the media to not spread such false statements. Thank you”.

On the professional front, Kavya became a prominent actress with her impeccable acting skills in films including Masooda and Balagam. Earning critical acclaim, these films have cemented her acting credentials in the film industry while Ustaad received a less favourable reception. It drew mostly negative reviews from both critics and audiences. Phanideep had written and directed this film starring Gautham Vasudev Menon, Ravindra Vijay, Anu Hasan, and others. Kavya played the role of Meghana in this film that is now streaming on Amazon Prime.

Besides acting, Kavya has an interest in law and has studied this course in Pune. She also practised full-time as a lawyer in the High Court of Telangana for six months before the pandemic hit. In an interview with the Deccan Chronicle, the actress said that she didn’t have any plans to take up acting. She realised that applying for the audition process is tougher than acting. She even attended the online court sessions on the film sets after attaining permission from the directors. Now, when Kavya is prioritising her acting career, she doesn’t forget to keep tabs on what’s happening in the legal field. She even keeps giving legal counselling to people during her free time.

As of now, there are no updates regarding the projects of Kavya on the acting front.
