Bigg Boss 18: Who Is Nyrraa Banerji?

She’s
gorgeous,
she
talented
but
Nyrraa
Banerji
is
having
a
tough
time
finding
her
footing
in

Bigg
Boss
18.

Initially,
the
actress
was
being
touted
as
one
of
the
strongest
contestants
this
season.

But
with
each
passing
day,
she
seems
to
be
confused
with
her
game
plan
all
over
the
place.

While
we
hope
Nyrraa
gets
back
in
the
race
soon,

Namrata
Thakker
finds
out
what’s
Ms
Banerji
like
in
real
life.

Born
as
Madhurima
Banerjee
on
May
14,
1987,
the
actress
changed
her
name
to
Nyrraa
for
professional
reasons.

She’s
well-versed
in
Hindustani
classical
music
and

ghazals
because
of
her
mom.
She’s
a
trained
Kathak
dancer
too.

Snuggle
time
with
her
paw
buddy!

In
2009,
Nyrraa
made
her
acting
debut
with
the
Telugu
film

Aa
Okkadu.
The
following
year,
she
went
on
to
star
in
three
more
Telugu
movies.

In
2012,
she
made
her
Hindi
film
debut
with

Kamaal
Dhamaal
Malamaal.
Since
then,
she
has
acted
in
several
Tamil
and
Kannada
movies
as
well.

Celebrating
her
birthday
in
style!

Nyrraa
has
experience
working
behind
the
camera
as
she
assisted
Director
Tony
D’Souza
on
his
film

Azhar.

With
her
mommy
dearest
Nandiita
Banerjjee.

In
2019,
Nyrraa
made
her
presence
felt
on
the
small
screen
and
went
on
to
act
in
the
hit
supernatural
drama,

Divya
Drishti.

Coming
to
her
personal
life,
the
stunning
actress
was
rumoured
to
be
dating
fellow
TV
actor
and
her

Rakshabandhan
co-star
Nishant
Malkhani.

The
two
were
even
considering
getting
married.
However,
they
parted
ways
realising
they
were
better
suited
as
friends.

Last
year,
the
37
year
old
participated
in
the
adventure
reality
show,

Fear
Factor:
Khatron
Ke
Khiladi,
But
she
couldn’t
lift
the
trophy.

Will
she
win
her
first
reality
show
title
this
year
with

Bigg
Boss?
Or
will
she
get
eliminated
sooner
than
later
because
of
her
weak
gameplay?
