2008 is very bad to Nayanathara

Three of Nayanathara movies Kuselan, Sathyam and Aegan failed to meet expectations and now, she has been forced to pull out of director Lingusamy’s next project, Paiyya. Ask her about the year being a bad one and she says, “Yes, 2008 has been a bad year for me, except for Yaaradi Nee Mohini, which was a hit. I can’t give you an exact reason as to what went wrong. In every movie, I give my 100 percent. Sometimes, people don’t like what you do in a particular movie. They cite several reasons for not liking a performance. If a movie doesn’t do well, it isn’t anyone’s fault.” The audience loves it when she sports a swimsuit, but there are those who criticize her for it. How does she take criticism? “Criticism never hurts because I take it very normally. But recently, I have been subjected to a lot of unnecessary criticism. Even if I don’t do anything, people criticize me.” On Reema Sen’s caustic remarks about her, Nayan says, “I’m not here to make friends. If they have problems with me, it’s their problem. Not mine. I don’t have any problems with anyone.”
