Nayanthara has looked back at her humble beginnings before becoming one of South cinema’s biggest stars. The actress revealed that her first professional assignment was as a model and she earned only around ₹2,000-3,000.
A photograph from her modelling days later caught filmmaker Sathyan Anthikad’s attention, eventually leading to her acting debut in Manassinakkare in 2003. Today, she is popularly known as the “Lady Superstar.”
