Early life and background

Myra Vishwakarma, popularly referred to as Pihu, was born on 17 November 2012 in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. She is from a Vishwakarma family with roots in Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh. As of the information available from 2018, she was enrolled at Delhi Public School in Noida and listed as being in nursery. Her family includes her father Rohit Vishwakarma, her mother Prerna Vishwakarma and one brother. Myra’s personal interests at a young age included singing and dancing, and she favored chocolates as a treat.

Career

Myra began working in film very early, starting her acting career at around two years old. Her debut came with the film Pihu, in which she played the central role. To capture natural responses from such a young performer, the film’s director used Myra’s real-life parents to play her on-screen parents and spent months observing and familiarizing her with the crew before shooting began.

Shooting for the film was completed in roughly 40 to 45 days. Despite difficulties finding investors for the project's unusual premise, producer support was secured. Pihu drew international attention: it was included among a group of Indian films noted during the awards season and appeared alongside other acclaimed titles in consideration for Oscar-related lists in 2018. The film also earned recognition at the 14th Trans-Saharan International Film Festival in Zagora, Morocco, where it picked up both the Best Feature Film in International Competition and the People’s Choice Award.

The director and writer associated with the project, Vinod Kapri, had an established profile that included a National Award for a previous documentary and critical appreciation for other feature work. Kapri’s hands-on approach to directing a very young lead involved an extended period of preparation so that the child could feel comfortable on set.

Public profile

Myra’s casting in Pihu drew attention because she was very young and because she became one of the youngest actors to carry a film in a solo lead performance. According to available accounts, she was selected for the role not through a conventional audition process but after the director saw her at a social gathering and decided she fit the role. The production and external recognition of the film increased public awareness of Myra as a child actor.

Physical characteristics recorded in public profiles note black hair and black eyes. Her zodiac sign is Scorpio and her religion is listed as Hinduism.

Latest updates

As of 2018, Myra was studying at Delhi Public School, Noida, and remained identified publicly by the nickname Pihu. Her early film work and the international festival awards for Pihu marked important milestones in her brief career up to that point.
