Here’s why Nayanthara doesn’t want to be called ‘Lady Superstar’ by her fans

NEW DELHI: 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 to her fans for their “unconditional love and affection”, but explained that titles can sometimes create a distance between her and her work.

Nayanthara took to her official X handle to share her thoughts, 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”.

The actor acknowledged that the title ‘Lady Superstar’ was born out of her fans’ affection, but she humbly requested that they call her by her name instead. “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”, she explained.
