Popular actress Nayanthara, long hailed as ‘Lady Superstar’ by her fans, has made a humble appeal to the media and audiences—asking to be addressed simply as Nayanthara.

In a heartfelt statement released late Tuesday night, the actress expressed gratitude for the love and support she has received throughout her career but shared her desire to be known by her name alone.

Nayanthara’s Statement: A Personal Request

“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.”

She went on to acknowledge the adoration and respect that led to her being crowned "Lady Superstar", a title that became synonymous with her stardom in Tamil cinema.

“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.”

More Than a Title: Staying Connected with Fans

Nayanthara also emphasized that while titles and accolades are priceless, they can sometimes create an image that separates actors from their work and the bond they share with audiences.

“Cinema is what keeps us united, and let us keep celebrating it together. While the future might be unpredictable, I’m so happy that your unfading support will remain constant, and so will my hard work to entertain you.”

With this humble request, the actress hopes to be celebrated for her craft rather than a title, reinforcing her deep connection with her fans.

Going forward, she wishes to be known simply as Nayanthara—an artist dedicated to her passion for cinema.
