Nayanthara on her cinematic journey
Recently, during an interview for her film Connect, Nayanthara talked about her two decades of journey in the South cinema, “It feels great. Sometimes when I think about it, I can’t believe that I have completed 20 years. But there were many phases of life in those twenty years which have all been very, very nice. I was too young; I was 18 when I started working in cinema. I just went with the flow. After a point, I pointed to achieve certain things. When we speak about films and the film industry, my desire was that my name should also be etched in its history. I think that desire was fulfilled by God. And I think that’s a big achievement.”
Nayanthara on inequality for women
She further disclosed that she wanted to make it big in the male-dominated industry, “When I started the second decade, I had some dreams. There were no women-centric films and women were not given importance at that time. I used to wonder why heroines were not given any importance. Even if we attend an audio function, they’ll make us stand in some corner. This is the reason why I stopped attending such events. I feel women should be treated equally (in the film industry) as male stars, and, if not equally, at least given importance.”For the unversed, the Lady Superstar is well-known for delivering some women-centric movies.
