She is the recipient of one Filmfare Award South, one Kerala State Film Award, and one Tamil Nadu State Film Award.** She began her career as an anchor on the Malayalam television channel Asianet before becoming an actress.

She enrolled at Mar Ivanios College in Thiruvananthapuram in 2013, but reportedly dropped out due to her demanding shooting schedule. A career in film**** **Nazriya began her career as an anchor in a Muslim-oriented television quiz show called Punyamaasathiloode on Kairali TV in 2005, followed by various other anchoring roles.** She then began her acting career as a child artist in the Malayalam film Palunku (2006), directed by Blessy, in which she played Mammootty^/s character^/s daughter. She later became an anchor on Asianet^/s popular music reality show Munch Star Singer. Her next film was Oru Naal Varum (2010), in which she played Dhanya, the daughter of Sreenivasan^/s character. She was cast in Sony Music Entertainment^/s Yuvvh album, alongside Nivin Pauly, which became very popular among the youth. Nazriya got her first female lead role in the Malayalam film Maad Dad (2013). She worked again with the Yuvvh team—director Alphonse Putharen and actor Nivin Pauly—for the romantic comedy thriller film Neram, which was shot in both Tamil and Malayalam. The film was a huge success, and both critics and audiences praised the lead couple; the scene in which Nivin proposes to Nazriya became a cult classic among moviegoers. She won the Vijay Award for Best Debut Actress for her performance in Neram. She was then seen in Raja Rani as Keerthana, an IT professional. "The one person who caught my attention was Nazriya Nazim, who as Arya^/s lover Keerthana, is absolutely gorgeous with a face that is so expressive that we do not need her to speak," wrote Hindustan Times^/ Gautaman Bhaskaran. Her next film, Naiyaandi, starred her as a dentist. In 2014, she made her film debut in Salalah Mobiles, which flopped despite a strong cast that included Dulquer Salmaan. She recently finished filming Thirumanam Enum Nikkah in Tamil, in which she plays a Tamil Iyengar girl. She then appeared in Malayalam in Ohm Shanthi Oshaana, co-starring with Nivin Pauly. The film was a huge success and a box office smash, lasting 50 days in almost every theatre. Bangalore Days and Samsaaram Aarogyathinu Haanikaram in Malayalam, Thirumanam Ennum Nikkah and Vaayai Moodi Pesavum in Tamil were her next films. In October 2013, Nazriya was cast in Nee Nalla Varuvada. However, Kajal Aggarwal was signed in March 2014 to replace Nazriya. In the 45th Kerala State Film Awards, she was named best actress.
