Career
Charmy Kaur made her acting debut in the 2002 Telugu film Nee Thodu Kavali, in which she acted as a housewife at the age of 15. This film was a flop, but it helped Charmy gain attention from the south Indian film industry. In Tamil, her next film was T. Rajendar's Kadhal Azhivathillai, in which she co-starred with Silambarasan. During this time, she appeared in Kattuchembakam, a Malayalam film directed by Vinayan.
Her return to Telugu films began with Neeke Manasichaanu, a film co-starring Srikanth, and was followed by Sri Anjaneyam, directed by Krishna Vamsi, and another drama film Chanti, co-starring Ravi Teja. In Telugu, she finally got a big break with Gowri, in which she was paired with Sumanth. Charmy starred alongside Ravi Teja in Ram Gopal Varma's Dongala Mutha. She made cameo appearances in films such as Dhamarukam, Naayak, and Yaare Koogadali in 2012. She went on to appear in Hindi films like Zila Ghaziabad and R... Rajkumar. She produced and starred in Puri Jagannadh's film Jyothi Lakshmi (2015). Her 50th film was Pratighatana, in which she played a journalist.
Charmy Kaur co-produced Rogue, a Telugu & Kannada bilingual starring debuting Ishan, as well as Paisa Vasool, starring Nandamuri Bala Krishna, all three films directed by south Indian star director Puri Jagannadh, who is also the core founder of "Puri Connects," a production house, media related events, marketing and designing, and talent management company. She co-produced Mehbooba under the Puri Connects banner with Puri Jagannadh, who directed and co-produced the film under the Puri Jagannadh Touring Talkies banner, launching his son Akash Puri. Charmy Kaur announced in May 2019 that she would no longer be acting and would instead work as a film producer.
