One of the finest actors to have emerged from Namma Mysuru is Niveditha. An alumnus of Marimallappa's PU College, she completed her Computer Science Engineering from a college in Bengaluru and worked for a software firm before deciding to try her luck in Kannada film industry.
To hone her acting skills, she joined Bollywood actor Anupam Kher’s acting school ‘Actor Prepares’ in Mumbai where she was groomed as an actress. Later, Niveditha went to the famous Ninasam in Heggodu and learnt the finer nuances of theatre acting before stepping into the glamour world. Her role as Savanthri in ‘Avva’ directed by Kavitha Lankesh won her the State Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2008. Niveditha also won the State Award for Best Actress for her role as Devakka in ‘December 1’ directed by P. Sheshadri in 2013.
