Tamil Actress Nayantara

The illustrious Indian actress Nayantara was born Diana Mariam Kurian in 1984. Daughter of an officer of the Indian Air Force, she was raised as an orthodox Christian and graduated from college with a degree in English. Her appearance in Tamil Nadu cinema, as well as Malayalam and Telugu films has earned her several awards, and continuing starring roles in films like Chandramukhi, Billa, Mohini, and many others.

The career of Natanyara began after she was discovered in her university days by the director Satyan Anthikkad. Satyan cast Diana in her debut role in the movie Manassinakkare, alongside actor Jayaram. Other features she has starred or acted in include Aadhavan and Natturajayu which propelled her career, making her a highly sought after actress in Tamil cinema.

By her own accounts, Natanyara knew nothing about the Malayalam cinema, or Telugu cinema and language before she began acting in movies for these regioins. Nonetheless, she accepted a starring role in Ayya, a Telugu drama also featuring Sarath Kumar. Other films adapted for Telugu cinema were Yogi, which failed at the box office, and Thaskaraveeran, whom she starred in with Mammootty.

The success of Nayantara's career dominates her cinematic endeavors, although there were some less successful ventures, including Vallavan (the Tamil version of Yogi,) which had her in a supporting role. After this movie, her star status was restored, and she became a Kollywood darling again in Yaaradi Nee Mohini in 2008. This enormous hit was nominated for several Filmfare Awards, and became a top grossing Tamil film that year. Unfortunately, her later film roles, Kuselan and Sathyam, whom she starred in opposite Rajnikanth and Vishal, respectively, failed to gain the approval of critics and audiences.

Recent failures aside, it is clear that Nayantara has the ability to win the hearts of audiences whether the film is in Tamil, Telugu, or Malayalam.
