Riddhi Kumar is a rising Indian actress and model, born in Pune, Maharashtra, into a disciplined military family. Her father, an officer in the Indian Army, was stationed in various locations throughout her childhood, leading her to attend the Army Public School in Pune before she graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from the prestigious Fergusson College. A trained Kathak dancer, she initially balanced her studies with a career in modeling and pageantry, winning titles such as Face of India 2016 and Yamaha Miss Fascino. Her transition to acting was unplanned; she was spotted by a casting agent during a fashion assignment, which led to her debut as the lead actress in the Telugu romantic drama Lover (2018), where she played a Malayali nurse named Charita. Since her debut, she has quickly expanded her footprint across regional and digital platforms, making her Malayalam debut in Pranaya Meenukalude Kadal (2019) and her Marathi debut in Dandam (2019). She gained significant national recognition in the OTT space for her compelling performances in high-profile web series like Candy (2021) on Voot, Human (2022) on Disney+ Hotstar, and Crash Course (2022) on Amazon Prime Video. She also appeared in the grand-scale multilingual film Radhe Shyam (2022) alongside Prabhas. As of 2026, she is set for a major career breakthrough with the horror-fantasy epic The Raja Saab, where she plays a pivotal character named Anitha. At recent pre-release events, she made headlines for wearing a designer saree gifted to her by co-star Prabhas, showcasing her growing prominence in the pan-India film circuit.
