Nazriya Fahadh was born to Nazimudeen and Begum Beena. She has a brother, Naveen Nazim. Her family lived in Al Ain, UAE, before moving to Thiruvananthapuram. She studied in Our Own English High School, Al Ain, UAE and Christ Nagar Senior Secondary School, Trivandrum. She has stated that she wants to study something related to business and that she may take up either a Commerce or BBA course. In 2013, she joined Mar Ivanios College, Thiruvananthapuram, but reportedly left the college, owing to her tight shooting schedules.
She started her career in television as an anchor in a Muslim oriented television quiz show named Punyamaasathiloode and the Orbit Digital vision production SHRUTHILAYAM on KAIRALI 2005, Produced by Sameer Glory. She then started her acting career in 2006 as a child artist by acting in the Malayalam film Palunku (2006), directed by Blessy, in which she played the daughter of Mammootty's character. She went on to become an anchor on Asianet's music reality television show Munch Star Singer. The Mohanlal-starrer Oru Naal Varum (2010) was her next venture, in which she played the role of Dhanya, the daughter of Sreenivasan's character. She was cast in an album titled Yuvvh by Sony Music Entertainment, which became very popular among the youth.
Nazriya finally landed in her first female lead role in the Malayalam film Maad Dad (2013). She again associated with the team of Yuvvh—director Alphonse Putharen and actor Nivin Pauly—for the romantic comedy thriller film Neram—which was simultaneously made in Tamil and Malayalam. The movie became a big success, and the lead pair was appreciated by both critics and audiences alike. The scene in which Nivin proposes to Nazriya acquired cult status among cinegoers. She was then seen in Raja Rani, as an IT professional called Keerthana. Gautaman Bhaskaran from Hindustan Times wrote: "the one person who caught my attention was Nazriya Nazim, who as Arya's lover Keerthana, is absolutely gorgeous with a face that is so expressive that we do not need her to speak". Her next release was Naiyaandi, in which she played the role of a dentist.
In 2014, she was first seen in Salalah Mobiles, which flopped despite having a strong star cast, including Dulquer Salmaan.[16] She has completed filming for Thirumanam Enum Nikkah in Tamil,[17] in which she acts as a Tamil Iyengar girl,[18] and Om Shanthi Oshaana in Malayalam. Om Shanthi Oshaana saw her sharing screen space with her lucky charm Nivin Pauly. As expected, the film became a big hit, and became one of the biggest blockbusters of the entire industry, running 50 days in almost all theatres.[19] Her most recent films are Bangalore Days and Samsaaram Aarogyathinu Haanikaram in Malayalam, Thirumanam Ennum Nikkah and Vaayai Moodi Pesavum[20] in Tamil. Nazriya was signed to star in Nee Nalla Varuvada in October 2013.[21] However, in March 2014, Kajal Aggarwal was signed on and replaced Nazriya. In 2014, she received a Vijay Award in the category of Best Debut Actress for her acting in Neram (2013).[citation needed] She won the best actress in the 45th Kerala State Film Awards. Nazriya will be making a comeback with the Untitled Prithviraj Anjali Menon Film after taking a break from films after getting married to Fahadh Faasil
