Early Life & Background
Kannika Ravi was born on 8 July 1994 in Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu, India. In 2025, she will turn 30 and in July of that year will become 31.
From a young age in Tamil Nadu, she was drawn to the arts and performance. This base, which she developed early on, would later play out in her TV and film career.
Physical Profile
Kannika is a little over 5’5” (165 cm) in height, and she weighs in at around 55 kg. She has black hair and black eyes, which complement a fit physique that she wears well in her acting and modelling career.
Her body measurements are reported to be 34-30-34 but do change over time.
Education
At Ryan International School in Tamil Nadu, which is where she finished her school years, she then went on to attend Khalsa College (around 2012). Though the exact field of her degree is not made public, it is known that she has a post-secondary degree.
Career Journey
Television & Early Work
Kannika started out in TV with “Amudha Oru Aacharyakuri”, which she was a part of in 2011 on Kalaignar TV. That was the start of her foray into the world of entertainment.
She also did time as a VJ (video jockey) for “Sabash Sariyana Sirippu”, which in turn gave her exposure and screen time.
Film & Modelling
She broke into the movie industry with her film debut in “Sarithiram Pesu” (2015). Also in the films “9 Giragankalum Ucham Petravan”, “Devarattam” and “Adutha Saattai”, she did subsequent work. Through modelling assignments, brand endorsements and acting roles, she gradually built her profile.
Personal Milestone – Marriage
Kannika tied the knot with actor lyricist Snehan (full name Sivaselvam) on 29th July 2021 in Chennai at a function which had in attendance film personalities like Kamal Haasan. Also, their marriage, which saw an age gap between the two, and their playing different roles in the Tamil entertainment industry, attracted public attention.
Personal & Family Life
Her husband Snehan is a famous Tamil poet, lyricist, actor and politician who was born on 23 June 1978 (which makes him 47 in 2025). They straddle generation lines, but at the same time support each other’s careers and also do very well in public.
Kannika is from a Hindu background; her father is Ravi Kumar. As for her mother’s and brother’s details, that is less known to the public.
Net Worth & Professional Standing
As of 2025, reports put Kannika’s net worth at around ₹4 crore (approx $500,000). This is based on her work in film, as a model, in TV and on social media.
Her husband Snehan has a net worth of between 5 and 10 crores, which is a result of his large body of work as a lyricist (over 2,500 songs), actor, and TV personality.
Why Her Story Stands Out: What to Know.
- Kannika is a product of what we see as the present trend, which is of artists moving from TV to film, in Tamil entertainment.
- Her work as a VJ and TV actress gave her a wide range of experience, which is also augmented by her work in modelling and film.
- Into the public eye went She and Snehan, which brought her greater attention to her professional and personal doings.
- She has a large social media footprint, which supports her brand and sales.
- In terms of education, she did well but was more towards the creative arts instead of a traditional academic track.
Summary
Kannika Ravi, at age 30, is a Tamil actress, model and TV personality who is a graduate and is coming up in the Tamil entertainment industry. In 2021, she tied the knot with the lyricist-actor Snehan, and by 2025, her net worth is reported to be around 4 crores. Her career, which includes TV serials, VJ work and film work, is doing great, and she is also growing her presence on screen and social media.
