Biography
Nyra Banerjee (also credited as Nyrraa M Banerji and, early on, Madhurima Banerjee) is an Indian actress and model born on 14 May 1987 in Mumbai. She trained in Hindustani music, ghazal singing and Kathak dance in her youth. Director G. V. Iyer discovered her while she was recording a song and cast her in the Hindi serial Kadambari.
She made her film debut as Dr. Pavithra in the 2009 Telugu film Aa Okkadu, and has worked in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada cinema, with roles in Temper (2015) and One Night Stand (2016). On television she led Divya Drishti (2019-2020) and Pishachini (2022-2023), and she has appeared in the Netflix series Khakee: The Bengal Chapter. She was an assistant director on the 2016 film Azhar.
On reality television she finished seventh in Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 and twentieth in Bigg Boss 18. In 2026 she is the face of the Goddess across nine forms in Kalpanik Films' DEVI: The Nine Astras. Indian Television describes her as a real actress whose performance carries the emotion, with the team's AI casting letting her character appear in different manifestations without reshoots in multiple locations.
