Nayanthara was recently seen in a horror film Connect and will now be seen opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan. Last year, she tied the knot with filmmaker Vignesh Shivan in an intimate ceremony, and a few months later, the couple welcomed twin boys via surrogacy.
In a recent media interaction, Nayanthara revealed how she was once asked for 'favours' if she wanted to bag a pivotal role in the film. She said she refused it ‘boldly’ as knew she would be able to make a mark for herself on the merit of her own talent, as reported by Indianexpress.com.
Last month, the 38-year-old actor said her journey in cinema hasn't been a cakewalk and all the ups and downs have taught her a lot. She told PTI in an interview, "There is so much that I have learnt, so much that I have gone through, but it is all been nice. Whatever mistakes I have made, the good and bad phases (I have been through), 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 has been kind to me. I feel blessed. I don’t know how to put the whole thing together (in words)."
