Nayanthara disowns ‘Lady Superstar’ tag

Actress Nayanthara has issued a letter asking the discontinuation of the association of the moniker “Lady Superstar” with her name. This choice signifies a notable transition for the actress, who has been extensively identified by this appellation for years, indicative of her substantial fame and impact in the Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam film sectors.

She wishes to be recognized solely as Nayanthara, in accordance with similar requests from other prominent performers such as Kamal Haasan and Ajith Kumar, who have also requested the omission of their tags.

Here’s Nayanthara’s full-letter in which she explains why she made this decision.

“Vanakkam.

While thanking all my sources of happiness and success for my journey as an actress, I sincerely hope this note finds you and your families in the best of health and happiness. 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.

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.

Cinema is what keeps us united, and let us keep celebrating it together.

With love, respect, and gratitude,
Nayanthara”

This is an increasing trend among celebrities to be acknowledged by their names rather than itles, highlighting their individuality as persons and performers over any assigned designations.
