Happy Birthday, Kavya Madhavan: Here are some unseen pictures of the actress!

Mollywood's all-time favourite actress Kavya Madhavan turns a year older today! She entered showbiz as a child actor and went on to carve a niche as a top star in the industry. With her girl-next-door looks, Kavya has never disappointed fans. From Dileep to Mammootty, she has played the female lead opposite almost all superstars. Celebrating her special day, here are some unseen pictures of the diva.

Kavya started her career as a child actor with 'Pookkalam Varavayi'. Playing a small role in the movie, she was later flooded with offers. Kavya was five years old when she did her first movie and played a student in 'Pookkalam Varavayi'.

Sharing the frame with Mammootty, Kavya got a lot of attention for her role in 'Azhakiya Ravanan'. Her innocent smile and flawless acting entertained fans. M-town can never forget the little Paavadakkari song 'Vennilla Chandan Kinnam' featuring Kavya’s innocence.

Just like acting, Kavya is an ace dancer too. She is a trained classical dancer and these clicks were taken when she was in fourth grade, before her Mohinyattam performance. These pictures are proof that Kavya was a charismatic performer.

Even in school, Kavya earned awards for her dance skills. This snap is from her school days, when she delivered a Bharatanatyam performance. She won several accolades for her dance moves and was one of the most popular teenagers in her school.

In 1999 filmmaker Lal Jose offered Kavya the role of Radha in his film 'Chandranudikkunna Dikhil'. It was her first role as a leading lady and Kavya Madhavan gave a near-perfect performance. The movie gave a big boost to Kavya's career.

Even though Kavya Madhavan has worked majorly in commercial films, she made sure to choose a bunch of iconic characters too. Without thinking about the screen space of her characters, Kavya signed up for pivotal roles in films like 'Perumazhakkalam', 'Naalu Pennungal' and 'Gadamma' to name a few.
