Shamna Kasim better known by the stage name Poorna, is an Indian actress, dancer and model who appears in Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil films.[3] She made her acting debut in the 2004 Manju Poloru Penkutty.[4]
Early life
Shamna Kasim completed her Bachelor of Arts in English by correspondence.[5] She resides in Kochi, Kerala.[1]
Career
In the mid-2010s, Kasim appeared in a series of films where she portrayed a ghost, with The Hindu labelling her as "the ghost queen of Telugu films".[6] She appeared in Avunu (2012) and the sequel Avunu 2 (2015).[citation needed] She turned down several similar scripts, before acting as a ghost in Raju Gari Gadhi (2015), which became a surprise hit at the box office.[6] She shaved her head completely bald for her role in the Kodiveeran (2017), but the movie did not receive a good response from the audience.[citation needed]
Controversy
In June 2020, police arrested members of a gang on a complaint lodged by Kasim's mother that they blackmailed her daughter.[7][8] Police revealed that the gang locked film actresses in hotel rooms and forced them to accompany as escorts for transporting black money.[9][10]
