Krishna Kumar (born 12 June 1968) is an Indian actor and politician who appears in Malayalam-language films and television, in addition to a few Tamil-language films.

Early life

Krishna Kumar was born on 12 June 1968 in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. He is the youngest son of Gopalakrishnan Nair and Retnamma. He came from a family who had served in the Indian military. Kumar was also preparing to join the military before he got an offer to work as a news presenter for Doordarshan.[1]

Career

Kumar had received his first acting offer whilst working as a television news presenter in Doordarshan. Kumar played a role in a 13-episode serial produced for DD Malayalam. He portrayed actor Nedumudi Venu's son, in his acting debut. DD Malayalam was the only Malayalam channel at that time. When Asianet was launched, Kumar starred in a TV soap opera titled Sthree (1998–2000) starring Siddique and Vinaya Prasad, Kumar became the serial's lead actors after Siddique shifted to films and left the show. The show was a major succes and was a breakthrough for him.[2]

He was supposed to make his film debut in 1993 with the Joshiy-directorial Sainyam, in which he was to play a naval officer, but his scenes were deleted from the film. To make up for it, Joshiy offered him the chance to dub for Vikram's character in the film. However, he was ousted from the dubbing studio after not possessing a dubbing artists' card from their guild.[3] He eventually debuted with the 1994 Malayalam film Kashmeeram. In the coming years, he acted in several Malayalam films and TV serials. He would later go onto to act in Tamil films such as Billa II, Deivathirumagal, and Mugamoodi among others.[4][5]

Politics

Krishna Kumar officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in February 2021[6] and was the party's candidate from Thiruvananthapuram constituency for the 2021 Kerala Legislative Assembly election.[7] He lost along with his other counterparts. On October 5, 2021, he was elected as a member to the BJP national council from Kerala.

Personal life

Krishna Kumar met his future wife Sindhu during his time presenting for Doordarshan. They married on 12 December 1994 at the Trivandrum Club in Thiruvananthapuram.

They have four daughters including Ahaana Krishna, Ishaani Krishna[8] (both actresses), Diya Krishna and Hansika Krishna. Sindhu is an entrepreneur and runs an advertisement agency.[9][10][11]
