Kalyani Priyadarshan turns up the heat in bold gold ensemble
Kalyani Priyadarshan, who made her mark in Telugu cinema with Akkineni Akhil's Hello, continues to capture hearts with her effortlessly striking fashion moments. In her latest shoot, the actress stunned in a gold shoulder-drop top paired with a matching skirt, accessorized with chunky earrings that added a perfect dash of drama. What made this look even more unique was the setting — a seemingly random, cluttered storeroom backdrop. While most would shy away from such a chaotic frame, Kalyani completely owned it. The raw, unpolished vibe of the background only enhanced the bold simplicity of her outfit, making her stand out without trying too hard. There's no over-the-top styling here. The focus is sharp — on her confident posture, bold color choices, and a face that doesn't need much to command attention. The entire look is unapologetically edgy, unconventional, and refreshingly real. Kalyani proves that sometimes, all it takes is the right attitude and a striking outfit to steal the spotlight — even in the most unexpected of places.

Did you know? Kalyani Priyadarshan and her brother lived in a Vietnamese orphanage to learn life's real lessons
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Kalyani Priyadarshan is surely one of the rising talents in Malayalam cinema , and her father, veteran director Priyadarshan has made a mark in the industry with his magnificent films. Did you know Kalyani and her brother Siddharth lived in an orphanage in Vietnam? Yes, you heard it right. Alleppey Ashraf reveals According to On Manorama, film critic and journalist Alleppey Ashraf recently revealed a heartwarming and little-known story about actress Kalyani Priyadarshan and her brother Siddharth, children of acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan and actress Lissy. Despite being born into fame and privilege, the siblings were raised with a strong sense of humility and empathy — values their parents instilled through extraordinary means. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invest $200 in Amazon without buying stocks to earn a second salary Marketsall Sign Up Undo Kalyani Priyadarshan gets bruised on the sets of 'Antony' Conscious decision made by parents In a YouTube video, Ashraf recalled one particularly impactful chapter from their childhood: a week-long stay at an orphanage in one of Vietnam's poorest regions. This was not a random visit, but a conscious decision made by Priyadarshan and Lissy, who wanted their children to experience a world far removed from the comforts of luxury. During that time, Kalyani and Siddharth lived just like the other children — sharing meals, sleeping in modest conditions, and adjusting to an unfamiliar and challenging lifestyle. Life lessons learned Ashraf emphasized how this experience grounded them and gave them a lasting appreciation for the struggles many face daily. At home, the siblings were affectionately called Ammu and Chandu, names that reflected the simplicity of their upbringing. Despite their background, entitlement was never part of their vocabulary. Even as adults, their humility shines through. Siddharth, for instance, is known for his simple lifestyle — often seen in worn-out shirts and unconcerned with fashion or fame. Ashraf also pointed out how this grounding helped both siblings navigate their parents' divorce with maturity and grace, without bitterness or drama. On the work front, Kalyani Priyadarshan will be teaming up next with the 'Premalu' actor Naslen for a film bankrolled by Dulquer Salmaan's production house.
