March 5, 2025: In a heartfelt note to her fans, actor Nayanthara has requested that they stop referring to her as ‘Lady Superstar’ and instead call her by her name. The actor expressed her gratitude for the “unconditional love and affection” her fans have shown over the years but explained that titles can sometimes create a distance between her and her work.
Nayanthara shared her thoughts on her official X handle, writing, “My life has been an open book that has always found its adornment with your unconditional love and affection. Be it the pat on my shoulder during my success or extending your hand to lift me during hardships, you have always been there for me.”
Acknowledging that the title ‘Lady Superstar’ came from her fans’ deep affection, Nayanthara humbly requested that they refer to her by her name instead. She elaborated, “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 actor also emphasized that titles and accolades, while humbling, can sometimes create a perception that separates her from her work and the bond she shares with her audience. She concluded her note by thanking her fans for their continued support and expressed her love for cinema, which she believes unites her with her audience.
Nayanthara’s request has sparked mixed reactions among her fans, with some respecting her wishes, while others continue to express their affection for the title ‘Lady Superstar.’
Currently, Nayanthara is busy with several projects, including Mahesh Narayanan’s Malayalam film, which will see the return of Mohanlal and Mammootty together on screen after 16 years. She is also set to star in Rakkayie, a period-action drama directed by Senthil Nallasamy.
