A doll from New Dehli, Kavya attended the National School of Drama and continued to study theatre while earning her Bachelors in Psychology from Lady Shri Ram College. The plan was to actually get her doctorate in clinical psychology but the acting bug was too strong, and after making her debut in Ishaan Nair’s directorial debut film, Kaash – If Only, Kayva decided to pursue a career on the screen instead. After a couple of short films, she landed recurring roles on the series Jugaadistan and Hush Hush in 2022 while spending her free time as part of the indie-pop duo, Mosko, when not acting. In 2025, Kayva took on the coveted role of Princess Divyaranijini Singh in the Netflix original series The Royals and set tongues wagging by sharing a sapphic smooch with costar Lisa Mishra that had audiences sporting some impressive royal balls of their own!
