After Kamal Haasan and Ajith Kumar requested fans and the media to drop honorifics when addressing them, Nayanthara has followed suit. Nayanthara, who is affectionately called “Lady Superstar” by her admirers and fans, has now requested fans and media to remove the titles and call her Nayanthara.
In a recent statement, the actress graciously declined the title and wrote, “Many of you have graciously referred to me as “Lady Superstar,” a title born out of your immense affection. I owe you all a lot for crowning me with such a valuable title. 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—not 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—the audience. I believe we all share the language of love that keeps us connected beyond all limits. While the future might be unpredictable for all of us, I’m so happy that your unfading support will remain constant, and so will my hard work to entertain you,” she added.
On the professional front, she has an exciting slate of projects, including Test, Mannaganti: 1960, Dear Students, Rakkayie, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, and MMMN, where she stars alongside Mammootty and Mohan Lal.
