Early life and Career details
Erica Fernandes was born on 7th May 1993 in Mangalore, Karnataka in a Christian family of Mangalorean descent. Her complete name is Erica Jennifer Fernandes. Her father, Ralph Fernandes was a model and an interior designer, who presently is Erica’s manager, and her mother, Lavina Fernandes is a former employee of Air India and Bank of America. The actress has an elder male sibling, Jermaine Fernandes, who is working for “Ernst and Young” in Mumbai.
Her family relocated to Mumbai when the actress was quite young and Erica started exploring life in Mumbai, where she attained her school education at Holy Cross High school, located in Kurla, Mumbai. Erica, since her childhood days, aspired to be a reputed model and a biggie in the film industry. To pursue her undergraduate, she enrolled in SIES College of Art, Commerce, and Science which lies in Sion, Mumbai. Due to her immense inclination and fascination with the field of modelling, she later dropped out of the institution. Erica, with a sheer determination to hit a home run in modelling, started preparing for modelling assignments and beauty contests. She competed for and ended up winning various beauty crowns in the years 2010 and 2011 respectively, named “Bombay Times fresh face”, “Pantaloons Femina Miss Fresh Face 2011” and “Pantaloons Femina Miss Maharashtra”. Her ceaseless accolades and victories in the beauty contests and modelling shows drew the film directors’ attention to her. Finally, she got her first break in Kollywood (Tamil film industry) with the movie “Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu (2013). The movie wasn’t a great blockbuster at the box office, but Erica was praised for her acting skills. This movie bore fruit for Erica and she was thereafter flooded with offers from all the remaining film industries (Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi). So her forthcoming projects happened to be in other industries. The year 2014 was bliss for the actress, as she bagged roles in three different movies belonging to different industries, such as Galipatam (Telugu, 2014), and Babloo Happy Hai (Hindi, 2014), and Ninnidale (Kannada, 2014).
After setting the South-Indian film industry alight with back to back movie releases, Erica became a renowned and popular face in South India. After gaining accolades in South India, she opted for lead roles on the small screen and was eventually signed for the Sony entertainment television special “Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi”, playing the character of Sonakshi Bose. Soon after the show was aired, Erica garnered love and attention from the viewers of the show. This show also fetched her two prestigious awards; The Asian Viewers Television award for the best female actor of the year and the Lion’s Gold award for the best on-screen Jodi. Her latest ongoing project is the Star Plus serial Kasauti Zindagi Kay 2, in which she is portraying the character of Prerna Sharma. The show and Erica’s performance have been the talk of the town for 2 years now and her on-screen chemistry with Parth Samthaan is quite mesmerizing.
