She was a model before she signed on short films and took up acting. Her short films include Kadalasu Thoni and Third Flip directed by Lewin Louies Thattil.

In the video, Priya revealed that she was always crazy about acting. In fact, she'd auditioned for a role when she was in class 12 but gave it up to focus on her board examination.
"When I auditioned for this movie, I was told this was for a junior role. I am glad you all liked my video. Hope you will continue to support me," the model-actor added.

To all those who are crushing over her cuteness, this is how she looked as a child.
