Nayanthara Trolled for Attending Husband's Event While Skipping Promotions

Noted actress Nayanthara is known for her strict no-promotion policy, often making it clear to producers that she does not participate in interviews or promotional events. However, this long-standing stance has now come under scrutiny after her recent public appearance.

For a change, Nayanthara attended the pre-release event of Love Insurance Kompany, directed by her husband Vignesh Shivan, which is set to release on April 10. The event turned special when she unexpectedly walked onto the stage, surprising even the film’s team.

Videos of Nayanthara hugging Vignesh Shivan have since gone viral, drawing mixed reactions. While some appreciated the candid moment, others criticized her for skipping promotions for her own films but making time for her husband’s project. A section of netizens also felt that the “surprise” entry appeared staged, calling it a calculated promotional move.

However, her fans have come out in support, pointing out that she is also a co-producer of the film and has every right to promote it. They argue that participating in promotional activities is ultimately a personal and professional choice.

Interestingly, Nayanthara recently returned to Telugu cinema with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, alongside Chiranjeevi, but stayed away from pre-release events in line with her policy. She did, however, appear in a promotional video with director Anil Ravipudi, which generated significant buzz online.

A producer weighed in on the ongoing debate, saying, “After a long gap, Nayanthara returned to Telugu cinema, but she didn’t attend pre-release events as per her no-promotion rule. However, her appearance in a promotional video in January itself created a lot of attention. When a star maintains one stance and makes exceptions in certain cases, it naturally invites discussion and even criticism.”
