Over the years, fans have affectionately referred to her as "Lady Superstar," a term that Nayanthara has now pretty much rejected. Even while she loves the sentiment behind it, the actress has now asked her fans to just call her by her name. While titles and honors "are priceless," Nayanthara stated on Tuesday on X (previously Twitter) that "they can sometimes create an image that separates us from our work."?
A part of her letter read, "However, I humbly request you all to call me 'Nayanthara'. This is because I feel that the name is what I hold closest to my heart. It represents who I am¡ªnot just as an actor but as an individual. Titles and accolades are priceless, but they can sometimes create an image that separates us from our work, our craft, and the unconditional bond we share with you¡ªthe audience.¡±
While her fans understood her sentiment behind it, some people said that is this only a PR stunt.
One wrote, ¡°When you know it's just another stunt to make the people and media to feel her presence.¡±
?Another added, ¡°I don't think anyone called you that in recent times. It's high time people realised that you are overrated. So, a post like this is just another PR stunt.¡±
A third went on to add, ¡°This is a new type of propaganda indirectly now she wants to make herself relevant in her lost career. Typical..¡±
On the work front, Nayanthara has joined the ensemble of MMMN, the tentative title of Mahesh Narayanan's much anticipated Malayalam film. Additionally, she will appear in Senthil Nallasamy's period-action drama Rakkayie.?
