Renowned for her versatility in films across various languages, Nithya Menon has recently garnered attention with her role in the popular web series *Kumari Srimathi*. The multi-talented actress and singer, known for her compelling performances, is set to make waves in the Tamil film industry with upcoming projects like *Dear Exes*, *Idli Kadai*, and *Kadhalikka Neramillai*. As she navigates her career, Nithya has also become a voice of authenticity, openly addressing the pressures faced by actresses regarding their appearance.
In a candid interview, Nithya shared her perspective on beauty standards in the film industry. “Usually, heroines are what make a movie beautiful. But I never give importance to my looks and makeup in movies,” she stated, emphasizing that her focus lies beyond superficial appearances. She admitted that there are days when she forgets to apply makeup before heading to a shoot, underscoring her belief that true beauty transcends the cosmetics we wear.
Nithya further elaborated on her understanding of beauty, noting, “In my eyes, beauty is not something that comes with the makeup we wear. I see beauty in some people in their eyes.” For her, the essence of acting lies in the ability to deliver a memorable performance rather than adhering to societal expectations of physical appearance. She highlighted her commitment to her craft, stating that she prioritizes her contributions to a film over concerns about wardrobe choices or makeup.
Addressing the criticism she faces, particularly regarding weight gain, Nithya conveyed her resilience. “The words ‘You have gained weight’ are also heard,” she acknowledged, but she remains unfazed by such remarks. She pointed out that genuine support in the industry is rare, where very few can genuinely celebrate someone’s success. By embracing her journey and challenging the norms of beauty, Nithya Menon continues to inspire many to focus on their talent and authenticity, proving that self-acceptance is the true measure of confidence.
