Her favorite color is Black. She loves North Indian and Chinese cuisines. She is comfortable working with all the heroes and fully involves herself in whatever role she does and this obviously is the reason for her success in the field.

She did schooling from North India (Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Punjab and Karnataka)as her father was an Air Force Official. She joined Balikamadom High School, Thiruvalla for +2, then joined Marthoma college in Thiruvalla for her bachelors degree (English Literature).

While at college, she was chosen by director Satyan Anthikkad and was cast opposite Jayaram in Mansinakkare.

Her later films are Natturaajavu (Malayalam), Thaskaraveeran(Malayalam), Vallavan (Tamil), Gajini(Tamil), Yogi (Telugu) etc... She is now busy in Tamil & Telugu film industry.

Controversies

Nayantara easily created headlines when her scandalous poster with co-star (then boyfriend) Simbu (Silambarasan) was splashed across South India. It showed them in a supposedly vulgar lip-lock,the couple were open to media about their relationship, after a brief relationship period of one year the couple spilt up with a huge media hype. Nayanthara made friends with co-star Trisha Krishnan and now those two are helpful for each other.
