Ranjitha is an Indian former actress. She has acted in a number of Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada films during her film career. Since 2023, she is known to be serving as the Prime Minister of Kailaasa, a claimed micronation promoted by Nithyananda.

Personal life

In 2010, Nithyananda said he was in a relationship with Ranjitha, and officially made the announcement of both of them living together as partners official.

In 2010, Sun TV telecasted a video recording that claimed to show Ranjitha and Nithyananda in a bedroom. The story became viral among news media in Tamil Nadu. They both claimed the video to be fabricated and accused Sun TV of extortion. A Forensic Sciences Laboratory in Bengaluru confirmed that the video appeared to be that of Nithyananda and Ranjitha. Ranjitha filed a complaint with High Court of Karnataka against news channels. Various news channels were ordered to apologize to Ranjitha for violating the complainant's privacy and dignity.

In 2013, she took up sannyasa under Nithyananda.

Prime Minister of Kailaasa

In 2023, a website associated with Nithyananda displayed the name 'Nithyanandamayi Swami' alongside an image of Ranjitha, bearing the title of the Prime Minister of Kailaasa, a self-proclaimed Hindu state.
