Kayadu Lohar is a young Indian actress and model who, since her birth on 11 April 2000 in Tezpur, Assam, has been able to closely touch the limelight in multiple cinemas- Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, Marathi, and Tamil. She is blessed with a natural screen presence, versatility, and charm, making her one of the erstwhile promising beauties in the vault of Indian cinema.
Early Life
Though born in Assam, Kayadu was raised in Pune, Maharashtra. She hails from a Hindu family that has always stood by her side in whatever she wanted to pursue. After finishing her schooling in Pune, she moved to Coimbatore to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) degree from Sankara College of Science & Commerce.
Even as a student, she showed keen interest in performing arts and fashion, which eventually led her into modeling.
Beginning of a Modeling Career
Kayadu entered the modeling world at just 17 years old. She walked the ramp at India Fashion Week in 2017, gaining attention for her confidence and style. Her barometer in the fashion industry was Miss Feasina 2018.
Then, in 2020, another feather was added when she won Times of India’s Everyuth Fresh Face Season 12, prevailing against 24,000 other contestants all over the country. Such things gave shine to her personality and also acted as a trademark for her to enter into acting.
Entry into Films
Kayadu started her acting career in 2021 with the Kannada film Mugilpete, directed by Bharat S. Navunda, and was paired opposite Manoranjan Ravichandran. The film did well, and her performance was heralded for its novelty and charm.
From being in the Kannada industry, she started to check other films:
Malayalam: Pathonpatham Noottandu (2022)
Telugu: Alluri (2022)
Marathi: I Prem U (2023)
Making herself equally comfortable in all business languages and cultures, she distinguished herself as a pan-Indian actress.
In 2025, she signed two important projects – the Malayalam debut of Oru Jaathi Jathakam and the Tamil biggie Dragon, wherein she was paired with Pradeep Ranganathan. While the story of Dragon mainly centered on the male lead, her role was memorable enough to gain the adulation of the masses.
Family and Personal Life
Kayadu was born to Mohanlal Lohar and Sunita Lohar. She also has a younger brother, Udai Lohar. Though she is officially single, rumors link her romantically with actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan, her co-star from Dragon.
While the gossip carries on, Kayadu prefers to concentrate on her career and rarely lets her personal relationships influence her thoughts.
Social Media Presence
Besides films, she has established a strong online following. She now actively posts reels on Instagram, undergoing photoshoots, BTS, and travel updates. In March 2025, she already surpassed the 2 million mark and entered the league of the most popular social media actresses of the new generation.

At the tender age of 25, she has already showcased her capabilities in various regional cinemas and continues to stretch her horizons.
