Soumya Antony

Soumya Antony is a Malayalam actress and television anchor known primarily for the flick 'Appooppanthaadi'. She has also anchored the cookery show Nalla Ruchi.

Antony played a pivotal role in the 2016 Malayalam film 'Appooppanthaadi', helmed and written by Manusankar. It stars other actors like Prajin Padmanabhan, Meghanadhan, Prince Jose, and Munshi Venu.

The movie, a family drama produced under the 4 Star Movies banner, showcases the degree of difference prevalent in the lives of children earlier and the current scenario. It also throws light on how independent they are now compared with their earlier status.

Antony presented the cookery show Nalla Ruchi in 2014 on Mazhavil Manorama. The series focused on the dishes devoured by the locals while at the same time experimenting with the recipes available at the travel destinations within Kerala. The show was different than other of the ilk since every episode was shot at a different spot. The host took the viewers to a specific location, like a restaurant, where the dish would be prepared. That way, the audience could relish both the sights and environs along with the food being prepared.

The main focus of the show was to highlight the most luscious of recipes in Kerala, which are a signature of the state.
