Nandini Ramanna, famously known as Bhavana in the entertainment world, is an Indian actress primarily active in the Kannada film industry. Apart from her acting prowess, she is also skilled in Bharatanatyam, a classical dance form, and has garnered acclaim with three Karnataka State Film Awards.
Notably, she featured in "Shanti," a movie recognized in the Guinness Book of Records. Beyond acting, Bhavana Ramanna wears the hat of a director at HomeTown Productions, a production house specializing in dance and music shows.
Bhavana, originally named Nandini Ramanna, underwent a name change courtesy of Kodlu Ramakrishna. Initially trained as a classical dancer, Bhavana stumbled into acting serendipitously. Despite aspiring to a career as a stage choreographer, fate steered her towards the silver screen.
Her debut in films began with "Maribele," a Tulu movie, where she caught the attention of Kannada film producers. Despite initial setbacks, Bhavana's talent shone through roles like a cop in "No.1" and in acclaimed movies such as "Chandramukhi Pranasakhi" and "Deveeri."
She ventured into Bollywood with "Family," alongside legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. Noteworthy accolades include being named "Best Actress" for her role in "Bhagirathi" and recognition as one of the top Kannada actresses of 2010 by Rediff.
