Shobhaa De Slams Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale

Writer Shobhaa De is not too impressed with Nayanthara’s Netflix documentary, which premiered on the platform on November 18. In a hard-hitting post on Instagram, the author said that she wasn’t even aware about Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale till she saw the promos. She then called it a collection of “dull clips of talking heads going on about Nayanthara”.?

“Confession : i was not aware of the mega star power of the "Lady Superstar", Nayanthara, till i watched the promos of "Beyond the Fairytale" on @netflix_in . I tried bravely to watch for 45 minutes, hoping SOMETHING would wake me up from the tedium of wading through dull clips of talking heads going on about Nayanthara ( born Diana Kurien ) and her incredible life. She is charmjng, articulate, poised ...and blah! But ...what the hell... aftet this, many more stars will go for monetising their shaadi footage . Assuming she got paid for it,” read her post.

Shobhaa De is a writer and columnist who has often made headlines with her bold comments. She has also worked as a model and a scriptwriter
