I Don’t Believe In Love At First Sight: Nayanthara!

Being a celebrity is not as easy as it seems. Buried in all that fame and pomp, is a life that is always a spectacle to the public. It is almost an unsaid deal that their lives after popularity come with very little privacy, with arbitrary judgments being made and baseless stories being conjured. Our lady in focus is one such actress who has been through a lot in her eight-year stint in the industry. Since her entry into cinema, her life has always been an eventful one. On the one hand she has won the love of many a fan for her beauty and talent and on the other, she has braved the public decry for her questionable stand on relationships; controversy has been an integral part of her life.

 

On why she doesn’t believe in love at first sight

It is very hard for me to say what attracts me in a man when I see him first. I don’t believe in love at first sight. I don’t think you can just fall in love with a person the minute you see him. When you first meet a person, you only see and understand what he is on the outside but you still won’t know what kind of a person he really is. You may be attracted to him because he is handsome or charming but how can you fall in love with him? I am the kind of person who takes my time in getting to know a person and eventually fall in love with him.

 

On what turns her off in a man

I don’t like it when a man is insensitive to a woman, or people around him for that matter. As a human being, I generally believe that one should be warm to people. I have come across certain people in life who don’t treat people well until and unless they are of their same stature and that really puts me off. Whether a man is honest or not is something you find out later, but things like how he is with other people is something you can find out in the beginning by the way he communicates with other people. I definitely want to be with someone who is down to earth and humble. I believe a man should be very well mannered and chivalrous. I have met quite a few men in my life and they know how to treat people and they especially know how to treat women; not just because she is a friend or a co-star but they would treat any woman with respect.

Now, after her brief escapade from cinema, she makes a comeback, stronger from all the lessons her life experiences have taught her.  It takes courage to live amidst all that bad publicity but it takes more courage to fight through all that negativity and return as someone bolder, to secure an unshakable place for themselves in the industry and Nayantara is doing just that. She has the air of a diva and in that petite exterior is hidden a brave woman, who has unwavering opinions on people, love, and life itself.
