Nayanthara is making her Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan, which also marks the Hindi debut of filmmaker Atlee Kumar. It will release in theatres in June.

Her latest film Connect, which has been dubbed in Hindi, released last Friday in cinemas. As part of a promotional interview, she opened up on her favourite Hindi films of all-time. She spoke about it in Hindi.

In the clip, she can be seen saying in Hindi: “I think I must’ve watched all Hindi films. Name any Hindi film, I would’ve watched it. My all-time favourites would be Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham. There are so many films I’ve wanted to watch during a specific time. There are times when you’re low, then you want to watch different films. Irrespective of how I’m feeling, I always like watching Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.”

In the comments, fans expressed their shock over Nayanthara’s impeccable Hindi speaking skills. One fan wrote: “Didn’t know she can speak such good Hindi. This is very nice to know (sic).” Another fan wrote: “She’s a good actor. If she can speak such good Hindi, I hope she signs more Hindi films after Jawan (sic).”

Connect has been directed by Ashwin Saravanan. A lockdown horror-thriller, the film features Nayanthara in the role of a mother who has to take care of her daughter who’s been possessed by a spirit. The film also stars Vinay Rai and Anupam Kher in key roles.

Nayanthara and her husband Vignesh Shivn made their first public appearance since they became parents in October at a special premiere of Connect in Chennai.
