This Malayali girl's smile is winning the internet. Who is she?

Today is February 12, 'hug day' as per the marketing gimmick that is Valentine week.

On February 9, 'chocolate day' according to this Valentine week schedule, a song, Manikya Malaraya Poovi, from an upcoming Malayalam movie, Oru Adaar Love, released on YouTube.

The song composed by Shaan Rahman, the composer behind now-world famous 'Jimmiki kammal' song and sung by actor-producer-director Vineeth Sreenivasan, was received well by the audience. But a short sequence in the song has gone viral than the song itself.

What captivated social media users are the smile and expressions of a debutant Malayalam actress -- Priya Prakash Varrier -- and the sequence of her interaction with the fellow playing her high-school crush.

This sequence -

Priya was chosen to play a small role in the movie initially, but it seems the director, impressed with her talent, decided to make her one of the leads and for this, he is now reworking the script.

A day after the song was released, Priya joined Twitter.

Hi twitter, here is my official twitter handle

With the song going viral, Priya's Instagram account is also gaining a lot of followers. When the follower count touched 187K, Priya recreated her expression in a small video and shared it on both Twitter and Instagram.
