Kalyani N is an Indian film actress who has appeared in supporting roles in Tamil and Telugu films. She made her debut in Kollywood portraying a pivotal role in Saivam, later following it up with a contemporary mother's role in Pisaasu.
Kalyani began her acting career as a Tamil theatre actress in Mumbai. After a few advertisement assignments, she made her transition to films. Her debut role on the big screen was a cameo in the Tamil movie Settai (which was a remake of Delhi Belly). She went on to perform the role of Imran Khan's sister-in-law in Dharma Productions' Gori Tere Pyaar Mein.
