Haripriya born Shruti on 29 October 1991 is an Indian film actress and model. She predominantly appears in Kannada-language films. Haripriya was born as Shruthi in Chikballapur, Karnataka. She studied at Vidya Mandir and completed her Pre-University Course (PUC), which was the ambition of her late father. She subsequently moved to Bangalore, where she received acting assignments.  Haripriya used to participate in cultural programmes. When she was studying in 12th class, director Richard Castelino saw stills of her from the programmes and offered her the female lead role in the Tulu film Badi. She made her Kannada film debut in Manasugula Mathu Madhura (2008), following which she was part of unsuccessful ventures such as Vasanthakala. Her performance in the poitical satire Kallara Santhe (2009) earned her a Filmfare nomination for Best Kannada actress, while her next film Cheluveye Ninne Nodalu released to rave reviews, making Haripriya popular in Karnataka. In 2010, she also forayed into the Tamil and Telugu film industries with Kanagavel Kaaka, and Bhumika Chawla's maiden production, Thakita Thakita, respectively, with the latter emerging a moderate success. Currently, she has become busy with Tamil and Telugu projects, with Nande being her only Kannada project, while working on Cheran's Muran in Tamil and Pilla Zamindar in Telugu. She was also part of the political drama Mukhyamantri I Love You, produced in 2008, which has not been released.
