Girija Shettar (born 20 July 1969)[1] is a British actress, known for her works in South Indian films.[2] In 1989, Shettar starred in Maniratnam's Telugu film Geethanjali and Malayalam film Vandanam, directed by Priyadarshan, in which she starred alongside Mohanlal.

In 1992, she signed for the lead female role in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, which she left mid-way to complete a prior commitment. Ayesha Julka replaced her after the first schedule. In the same year, she starred in another Telugu film Hrudayanjali, under the direction of A. Raghurami Reddy, which won four state Nandi awards.[3] The film was completed in 1992 but was released only in 2002.[4]
