Can’t believe it?


Well, here’s proof:



For the unversed, Priya became a celebrity overnight after a short clip from the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi from Omar Lulu’s upcoming Malayalam movie Oru Adaar Love went viral on social media. The song sung by Vineeth Sreenivasan and composed by Shaan Rahman became popular but it was Priya who stole the show. In the video, we can see Priya making adorable expressions and winking to grab her crush’s attention.


Priya, a B.Com student, who hails from Thrissur in Kerala is a terrific singer and a trained Mohiniattam dancer too! She made netizens go crazy over her mesmerising expressions in a viral video and has reportedly broken a record! Guess what, she has gained about 606K followers within a day!


The queen of expressions has thus become the third “celebrity” to attain such a feat and has now joined the league consisting of American model -TV personality Kylie Jenner and legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo! They are the only two celebrities ahead of her to gain such mammoth following in just one day.


Oru Adaar Love is Omar’s third film. Besides Priya, the movie also stars Siyadh Shajahan, Noorin Shereef and Roshan Abdul Rahoof. The film is slated to release on June 14 this year.
