Sharanya Bhagyaraj is the daughter of director K Bhagyaraj and former actress Poornima Bhagyaraj. A few decades ago, Poornima made her film debut as Mohanlal's heroine in Malayalam. It therefore was a special occasion for Sharanya when she made her debut in Malayalam with Mohanlal.

Her debut film in Tamil was with Prithviraj and it was a decent hit at the box office.

It is believed that due to her failed romance with an Australia-based NRI, Sharanya had attempted suicide by jumping off the parapet of her house. Her maidservant spotted her just before she jumped and alerted the rest of the family.

For more than a year now, she had been going steady with this NRI and in order to spend more time with him, she used to make constant trips to Australia.

Rumors are on that this isn't the first time that she is trying to kill herself.
