Short Bio


Priya was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. However, with constant therapies and special education from the Spastics Society of Tamil Nadu, Priya can walk, run, and even dance! She is a passionate dancer who has performed on many stages from the tender age of 7. Priya is also very active in business, sports, and social work. Despite facing a lot of challenges, Priya has never been deterred from living an independent life. Her mother, who is a Special Educator, has been a great support to her professionally. Priya has won several awards and laurels for her outstanding dance performances, and she has been an inspiration to many.


She has participated in the District, State level sports and National Special Olympics, winning countless medals and certificates. She also won the Gold Medal in the National Para Athletics 100 Meters running competition in Patna in 2018. Priya is also a talented artist and uses her artwork to support herself financially and help cancer patients. Priya teaches art to children who have cancer at the Cancer Hospital Adyar in Chennai.


Priya's tenacity and talent have been recognized by many, including the movie industry. She was an inspiration for the movie ‘Peranbu’ and even taught the actor Sadhna to perform as a Spastic. Priya herself appears in a few scenes in that movie. Priya is living proof that a disability does not define a person.
