When Nayanthara said she does not have friends in industry: ‘I reserve personal connections'

Pink Villaa day ago
Nayanthara is a powerhouse of incredible talent and is one of the most sought-after actresses. Known for some of her fearless statements and choices, the actress has risen up to pan-Indian fame over the years.
However, having spent so many years in the film industry, the diva has never made any personal connections or friends among people she has worked with. In one of her older revelations, the Jawan actress had spilled beans on the same.
Why does Nayanthara not have friends from the film industry?
Previously, in an old interview with Kairali TV, Nayanthara revealed the reason behind why she has never made any genuine friendships with people from the movie industry. The actress explained how she could never make any solid friendships because she does not work with the same people on every film.
In her words: 'It's hard to build and maintain close friendships in the industry, mainly because we don't work with the same people on every film. Once a shoot wraps and we say our goodbyes, we might only see each other occasionally at events or parties."
Nayanthara spills beans on a handful of genuine friends she has
In the same breath, the Mookuthi Amman star highlighted that so far in her life, there's only been a handful of genuine friends which she has and to whom she gives a lot of value.
She feels those are the only people genuinely her friends since they know everything about her and will always show up whenever she is in need.
Nayanthara said, 'I maintain only professional relationships with my colleagues in the industry. I reserve personal connections for people I know well. I give a lot of value to friendship.'
She added, 'In life, I may have only two or three people who know me very well and whom I can genuinely call friends. They know everything about me. They're the kind of people who would show up immediately if I ever needed anything.'
Nayanthara's work front
Coming to her work front, the actress is currently busy with a lot of projects. After her last stint in the Netflix movie Test, she now has Yash 's multi-starrer movie Toxic-A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups.
She is pairing up with Chiranjeevi in Mega 157 and is also sharing the screen space with Mohanlal and Mammootty's film Patriot.
Additionally, some of her other upcoming projects include Rakkayie, Mookuthi Amman 2, Dear Students, Mannangatti Since 1960 and Hi, co-starring Kavin.

Gi-hun's final arc, aiming to dismantle the operation from within, hit the emotional and socio-political beats that first made the show a breakout success in 2021. Actor Lee Jung-jae's quiet gravitas as 456, paired with Lee Byung-hun's enigmatic Front Man, kept the narrative sharp, even if not as shocking. But numbers aside, what Season 3 truly cements is Squid Game's transformation from viral sensation to long-term franchise.

Why Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR Will Skip Joint Promotions For War 2

New Delhi: The cinematic clash between Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR in War 2 is set to be one of the most epic battles on the big screen. In a strategic move, the makers have decided to take a unique approach to promotions. Hrithik and Jr NTR will be promoting the film separately. According to media reports, Yash Raj Films is using this unique strategy to maintain the surprise and intensity of their onscreen clash by keeping them apart during promotions. 'Hrithik & NTR will be promoting War 2 separately, and all plans have been made keeping in mind that they would never share the stage together, never be in any promotional video together pre-release and never be seen with each other," a source told the Hindustan Times. The insider added, "Hrithik and NTR coming together is a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic moment in Indian cinema, and there will be a bloody carnage on the big screen. YRF is clear that the audience should first experience this rivalry before they see the two promote with camaraderie. They want to deliver the best movie-watching experience to people by preserving the conflict, which is the unique selling point of the film." Last week, Hrithik Roshan shared fresh posters of himself from War 2 on Instagram. The poster offered a close-up shot of the actor looking fierce. He sported a bruised avatar, holding a weapon with a grim expression on his face. He returns as Major Kabir in the War sequel. The caption read, 'This time he is ruthless, merciless, relentless and ready for WAR! Are you? The countdown begins now. 50 Days to War 2.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hrithik Roshan (@hrithikroshan) Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the sequel to the 2019 Siddharth Anand directorial War. Apart from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the film also features Kiara Advani in a key role. War 2 is produced and distributed by Yash Raj Films.
