Early life
[edit]Lutesha was born on June 23, 1994, in Jakarta, Indonesia.[2] She is the second child of three siblings, and the granddaughter of Indonesian diplomat and naval officer Idrus Nasir Djajadiningrat.[3] She is often called Ute.[4] She attended high school at SMA Plus Pembangunan Jaya, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Dutch literature from the University of Indonesia.[5][6]
Career
[edit]Lutesha began modeling by participating in a magazine modeling competition when she was 19.[7] She interned in the marketing department at fashion company Tinkerlust in 2016.[6] She also worked as an account executive and social media manager at an art museum and digital agency when living in Bali. Her career in acting began with the role of Suki in the film My Generation (2017), for which she was nominated Best New Actress in the Indonesian annual Maya Awards. After shooting My Generation, Lutesha remained in Jakarta, working as a graphic designer.[8][9] Over the course of her first four films, My Generation, Ambu, Glorious Days, and May the Devil Take You Too, Lutesha continued working as a graphic designer.[7] In 2022, Lutesha co-starred as Alpha, a member of the titular team of assassins in the Netflix feature, The Big 4,[10] and as Raya Fitri, one of a group of high school students investigating the death of a classmate, in the mini-series, Virgin the Series, on Disney+.[11] In 2023, she appeared in 13 Bombs in Jakarta, and co-starred in Ali Topan. NME noted of 13 Bombs, "Lutesha struggles to be a team player and keep her natural charisma in check, ... underlining how restraint remains her Achilles’ heel as an actor", and that she "proves in Ali Topan that she has the potential to be among the finest actors of her generation."[12][13]
Personal life
[edit]On March 23, 2022, Lutesha married artist Cahyo Arswandaru.[14][15] She considers herself introverted, and says she can have a hard time watching her own film performances.[7]
