Career

Born to Nagesh and Nalini, Nakshathra was schooled at Chettinad Vidyashram in Chennai. She has an older brother, Nakhul Nagesh who is a lawyer. Nakshatra studied hotel management at IHM, before moving into the entertainment industry as a video jockey.[4] She first worked on Thanthi TV by hosting the show Vaanavil before moving on to work as a host on television shows such as Sun Singer for Sun TV, and as an awards host for ceremonies such as Sun Kudumbam Viruthugal and the South Indian International Movie Awards. Nakshatra also acted in short films such as En Iniye Pon Nilave, while also making appearances in small roles in the feature films, Settai (2013) and Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (2014). She then appeared alongside an ensemble cast in Balaji Mohan's web series, As I'm Suffering From Kadhal, which marked one of the first Tamil language web-series.[5] A reviewer noted that Nakshatra "looks fantastic and plays her role perfectly."[6][7]

Nakshatra subsequently took on a leading role in Kushboo Sundar's television serial Lakshmi Stores, which marked her first lead appearance on a primetime Tamil television drama. Portraying the timid Bhagyalakshmi, Nakshatra won critical acclaim for her portrayal of the character.[8] In 2018, she was also listed by the Chennai Times as the fourth most "desirable woman on television".[9]
