Film and television

[edit]

Abhirami got her first acting offer after her impressions of host Ranjini Haridas and judge Sharreth on the music reality television show Idea Star Singer (2007) on Asianet in which her sister Amrutha Suresh was participating. Due to the popularity of this, she got an offer to act in the children's television serial Hello Kuttichathan (2008 – 2009) on Asianet.[2] She was 12 years old then and played the role of Nimmi.[5] The show was well received by the audience.[6] It was followed by roles in films such as Keralotsavam 2009 and Gulumaal: The Escape (both in 2009).[7]

She made her Tamil acting debut with Kerala Nattilam Pengaludane (2014), a Malayalam-Tamil bilingual comedy in which she played a Malayali Muslim girl named Nisha who aspires to become Miss Kerala.[8] She got the offer when she was in AVM Studios with Amrutha for recording a song, where director S. S. Kumaran met them who was looking for a newcomer for his film. Her first character as a female lead was in Beware of Dogs (2014).[2] It was a comedy-drama and she played Meera in the film.[9] It was followed by the romantic drama 100 Days of Love (2015) in which she played a supporting role as Pia George, the ex-girlfriend of Balan (Dulquer Salmaan).[10][11] She played the female lead role in her second Tamil film, Kubera Rasi (2015), which revolves around a bank robbery.[9]

In December 2018, Abhirami and Amrutha started a YouTube channel, Amrutam Gamay – AG, with the series AG Vlogs to publish their creative content. The content is related to their personal lives, travel, food, music, shopping among other things.[12] In 2019, she acted in the teenage short film Viral.[13] In 2020, Abhirami and Amrutha was invited to take part in the second season of Malayalam reality television game show Bigg Boss as contestants, however, they refused the offer because of other commitments.[14] Later, they entered the Bigg Boss (Malayalam season 2) house as wildcard entrants on day 50.[15]

Abhirami began composing at a young age, her debut composition came out when she was 14 years old. She is a keyboardist and plays the violin.[7] She has composed several bhajans in her early stint.[16] The music band Amrutam Gamay was launched in 2014 in which her sister Amrutha and herself are the lead vocalists. The band performed internationally at gigs within six months of its formation.[17] Abhirami was initially not part of the band which was founded by her sister Amrutha, but Amrutha invited her after hearing her rendition of a song they were preparing to perform on their debut on Kappa TV.[2] Their cover version of Israeli folk song "Hava Nagila" sung by Amrutha was popular among the global Jewish community. In 2015, Abhirami and Amrutha wrote and composed multiple original songs for their band, including "Katturumbu", "Ayyayo", and "Harps of Peace".[17][18] In the same year, Abhirami began hosting (as VJ) the daily music show Dear Kappa on Kappa TV.[19]
