Do you know HIT 3 actress, Srinidhi Shetty, is an ex-Accenture techie? Check qualifications of KGF 3 star

Long before the cameras started rolling and the spotlight followed her every move, Srinidhi Shetty was living a very different life — as an engineering graduate working at Accenture. Behind the routine of corporate life, however, was a dream that never dimmed. That dream took flight after she won a beauty pageant in 2016, catching the eye of the KGF makers, who offered her a role that would change her life forever. As Srinidhi once shared, she didn’t think twice before jumping into films — a decision that kickstarted her dazzling journey in cinema.

Srinidhi is a techie from Bengaluru
Not many know that the stunning actress is an engineer by qualification. Srinidhi holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Jain University, Bangalore. Alongside her academic achievements, she made waves in the modelling world — winning titles like Miss Karnataka, Miss Beautiful Smile, and becoming the first runner-up and Miss Congeniality at Miss Queen of India. While she briefly juggled a career at Accenture, it was clear that Srinidhi was destined for something far beyond the corporate world.


Her silver screen debut couldn’t have been more spectacular. Srinidhi made her entry into films with the blockbuster KGF, starring opposite Yash. As Reena, Srinidhi portrayed a character full of grace, independence, and subtle arrogance — a perfect contrast to Yash’s wild and fearless Rocky. Despite having no acting experience, she impressed everyone with her expressive performance, relying more on emotions than dialogues. Srinidhi credits director Prashanth Neel for mentoring her and making her feel at ease on set.

Now, Srinidhi is all set to expand her horizons with her much-awaited Telugu debut, HIT 3, opposite Nani. Slated to release on May 1, 2025, the film is already generating major buzz. Srinidhi plays a pivotal role as Nani’s wife, even though the promos have kept her character under wraps. Talking about the project, she shared that when someone like Nani offers you a film, you just take it without a second thought.

Srinidhi Shetty's work
Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, HIT 3 follows the story of Arjun Sarkaar, an SP transferred from Visakhapatnam to Jammu and Kashmir to investigate a chilling string of serial murders. With intense action, gripping drama, and Srinidhi’s powerful screen presence, HIT 3 promises to be a thrilling ride.


Beyond HIT 3, Srinidhi has an exciting lineup. She will soon be seen in Telusu Kada opposite Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Raashii Khanna, and she is also part of Kichcha 47 alongside Kichcha Sudeep. She will also star opposite Yash KGF.
