Meera Jasmine started her life in the small town of Kuttapuzha and completed her schooling in Mar Thoma Residential School in Tiruvalla.  It was destiny that brought Jasmine Mary Joseph to the world of cinema.

Acting was far from her aspirations, she just wanted to study and become a doctor. She was totally unaware of her beauty and talent. It was purely by chance that Jasmine Mary Joseph went to see the filming of a movie along with her classmates.

While she was busy gaping at the actors and the shooting process, the director Lohitadas noticed her and felt that she was rather out of the ordinary. He offered her the role of the heroine in his next venture, and to her credit she was quite stunned at the offer.

Her conservative family background forbade her becoming part of the film industry. Nevertheless  she agreed Lohitadas, and Jasmine Mary Joseph became Meera Jasmine, the heroine of Soothradharan, opposite Dileep.

Meera Jasmine made her debut in the malayalam film Soothradharan which fared well at the box office. It was not long before she got offers for films in other languages.
Meera's next film was Tamil film Run and Bala (2002), and won her the Best Debut Female Actress award for Run.

Meera Jasmine always stayed close to the Malayalam sphere and her second malayalam film was Kasthooriman, followed by Gramaphone.

It was Meera Jasmine's fourth malayalam film -Swapnakoodu - that really made a mark at the box office. The songs in the film were also a commercial success, and this film led her onto greater heights in the film Kasthooriman.

Kasthooriman was a success at the box office and ran for 100 days. This was also the film that won Meera Jasmine her first film fare award.
