NayantharaNayanthara is perhaps one of the most sought after South Indian actress: no wonder she is often referred to as a lady superstar. In an industry, which was largely male dominated, the characters she portrayed often brought in audiences in large numbers.
The sizzling beauty with sparkling eyes and pouting lips hails from Tiruvalla in Kerala and is totally inaccessible to the media.
Here, Onmanorama shares with you a few throwback pictures of the Puthiya Niyamam actress, which prove that Nayanthara is undoubtedly the flavour of South India:
