South actor Nayanthara reveals shocking details about her casting couch experience
South Indian actor Nayanthara, one of the highest-paid Indian actors, has been in the industry for almost two decades. She is one of the few actors who have worked in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada and is popularly known as the ‘lady superstar of Indian cinema.’
The Jawan actor is reigning in the film industry with her exceptional acting prowess. During the media interaction, the 38-year-old actor shared her journey in the film industry and her bad casting experiences during the initial phase of her career.
Nayanthara revealed how she was once asked for favours if she wanted to bag a pivotal role in the film. She said she turned down the offer boldly, knowing she would be able to make a mark for herself on the merit of her own talent and superb acting skills.
Last month, Nayanthara said her journey in cinema hasn’t been a cakewalk and all the ups and downs have taught her a lot. In an interview with PTI, she said There is so much that she has learned, and so much that she has gone through, but it is all been nice.
She further said that whatever mistakes she has made, the good and bad phases, everything is good now. It is all a learning experience. It is not easy to be in the industry for 18-19 years, but the audience and God have been kind to her, she added. The Viswasam actor said that she feels blessed and doesn’t know how to put the whole thing together in words.
Nayanthara is not the only Indian actor who has been harassed by casting couches. Earlier, Swara Bhasker disclosed how a Bollywood executive tried to make out with her and give her a kiss during a business meeting while posing as the manager of a well-known filmmaker.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Nayanthara will next be seen in Mohan Raja’s Thani Oruvan 2. She will also be seen in Ahmed’s Iraivan opposite Jayam Ravi.
