She also learned the classical dancing form Kathak but had to discontinue due to her father's transferable job.While recording a song one day, she was spotted by noted director G. V. Iyer who signed her on for the Hindi television serial Kadambari. She was supposed to play Sita's role in a film adaptation of Ramayana that G. V. Iyer was planning to shoot, but the director died and the project failed to materialise. However, owing to her studies had to turn down some big banners, until Priyadarshan managed to convince her to play the lead in his movie.

Banerjee's official name is Madhuurima. In order to avoid confusion with her contemporary actress Madhurima Tuli, she changed her screen name to her pet name Nyra in 2016.
