FEBRUARY 5, 2025- Nayanthara, one of South India's most celebrated actresses, has officially renounced the title "Lady Superstar." In a heartfelt note shared on X (formerly Twitter), she requested fans, media, and the film fraternity to refer to her simply as "Nayanthara."
Acknowledging the love behind the title, Nayanthara expressed her gratitude while explaining her decision. She stated, "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."
The actress further elaborated that titles and accolades, though precious, can sometimes create a barrier between an artist and their craft. "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," she explained.
Reaffirming her commitment to cinema and her audience, she added, "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. Cinema is what keeps us united, and let us keep celebrating it together.
