Meet Anaswara Rajan’s Parents: Rajan Payyadakkath and Usha Rajan

Anaswara Rajan is quickly emerging as one of the most promising young talents in Indian cinema, known for her dynamic roles in Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi films.

Born on September 8, 2002, in Karivellur, a quiet town near Payyanur in Kannur, Kerala, Anaswara’s journey from small-town beginnings to the silver screen is nothing short of inspiring.

Raised in a Malayali Hindu Brahmin family, she was brought up in a home deeply rooted in tradition and spirituality. Her unwavering devotion to Lord Krishna has remained a grounding force in her life, even as she steps further into the limelight.

Anaswara is the elder daughter of Rajan Payyadakkath, a private company employee, and Usha Rajan, a dedicated homemaker. The couple, who married in 1997, have created a home that blends traditional values with encouragement for personal growth and development.

Their second daughter, Aishwarya Rajan, is a budding fashion designer and Instagram influencer, known for her label, Buttonaurbandhni.

Growing up, Anaswara showed early promise in cultural activities. From school plays to local club performances, she was never far from the stage. She attended St. Mary’s Girls’ High School and later Government Higher Secondary School in Payyanur, successfully balancing her studies with her blossoming acting career.

She made her screen debut at just 15 years old in the critically acclaimed Malayalam film Udaharanam Sujatha (2017).

Rajan Payyadakkath

As the father of Anaswara, Rajan Payyadakkath has provided not just emotional strength but practical support during her early days in the film industry.

Encouraging her to pursue acting from a young age, Rajan‘s consistent presence behind the scenes helped Anaswara grow with confidence and integrity in an often demanding profession.

She has often credited her father’s sacrifices and values for helping her stay grounded, even as fame followed roles in hits like Thanneer Mathan Dinangal (2019), Super Sharanya (2022), and Neru (2023).

Usha Rajan

Behind Anaswara‘s emotional strength stands her mother, Usha Rajan. A homemaker by choice, Usha has played a crucial role in shaping her daughter’s resilience and character.

Her gentle guidance became especially important during difficult phases—such as when Anaswara faced online criticism in 2020 for her fashion choices. With her mother’s steady support, Anaswara responded with confidence and grace, turning adversity into strength.

Usha also helped instill in Anaswara a deep respect for their Hindu-Brahmin heritage, fostering a spiritual identity that the actress proudly embraces to this day. This connection to her roots continues to shape her personal and professional choices.
