Actor Nayanthara recently talked about handling criticism and said that she is not on social media but she is well aware of the things that are said about her.
In an interview with TV host Dhivyadarshini, the actor also indirectly addressed the comment of Malvika Mohanan on her make-up look in the hospital scene and said, 'There’s this interview I saw of another heroine. She didn’t take my name but hinted at me. She said that she saw a hospital scene where I was prim and proper with even my hairdo intact. She questioned how can someone be like that in a hospital scene. I am not saying one should be prim and proper in a hospital scene, but that doesn’t mean one should be with tousled and unkempt hair. There will be people to take care of you and they obviously tie up your hair.'
She added, 'Also, there’s a huge difference when you are doing a realistic film and when you are doing a commercial film. When you are doing a realistic film, you have to go all the way to look the part. But this example was from a commercial film… I went in with a look but my director told me not to look so sad. It is how they wanted to do the scene. So, when there’s a commercial aspect to it, you get as realistic as required.'
In an earlier interview, Malavika said, 'I have seen like this really big superstar actress. She is in one hospital scene and she is almost dying… and she is in full makeup!'
Nayanthara’s Tamil film 'Connect' released in cinemas on December 22. She will soon be making her Bollywood debut with ‘Jawan’, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan.
