Mirnaa Menon

Early life Mirnaa is a Malayali, hailing from Idukki, Kerala. Her parents are Santhosh Kumar and Shobana Santhosh and she has two sisters. She studied at the Sacred Heart High School in Ramakkalmedu. In October 2015, She alleged that she was harassed and tortured by its director Selvakannan and that she took the decision to end her life when she received no support from the police or the film authorities.

Even prior to the release of Pattathaari, she signed on to be part of Ameer's Santhana Devan. The film, which was reported to be a period piece revolving around Jallikattu and to feature Arya and his brother Sathya, entered principal photography by early 2017, with Mirnaa also participating in major parts of the shooting; the film has not been released yet. Her next release was the Tamil comedy Kalavani Mappillai. The film was the directorial debut of Gandhi, son of director Manivasagam, and featured Mirnaa alongside Attakathi Dinesh. Writing about Mirnaa, Anupama Subramanian from Deccan Chronicle noted that she "looks pretty and has given a decent performance".

By mid-2020 she underwent a name change once again, rechristening herself to Mirnaa. Big Brother, on which Mirnaa worked for almost 100 days, was Siddique's final film and ended as a critical and commercial failure. About Mirnaa's performance in Crazy Fellow, The New Indian Expresss critic said that she "impresses with her realistic portrayal". Her first 2023 release was Allari Naresh's Ugram. Mirnaa then portrayed a young Muslim widow observing iddah in KM Sarjun's Burqa. She and her co-star Kalaiyarasan were both lauded for their performances in Burqa. Later that year, she appeared in a supporting role in the Nelson-directed Jailer starring Rajinikanth.
