Nayanthara's throwback video as TV anchor 'Diana' makes fans go 'OMG'

A term like ‘Lady Superstar’ is a tag very few actors have enjoyed in the ‘male-dominated’ film industry of India, and that speaks of Nayanthara’s success. From working with the biggest names in the South film industries to carrying the film on her shoulders, the actor has been a role model for the aspiring actors. And like they say, small steps lead to big changes, the Ghajini star too did so, as she was a VJ before she got her big break in films. A moment from this initial phase of her career has now surfaced on the Internet and is going viral. Netizens could not believe their eyes to see how Nayanthara looked many years ago when she was a TV anchor.

In a video from a Malayalam show, Nayanthara as a VJ, tells the viewers that it’s time to sign off. She then informs the address where they could send their posts, before she concludes it. She says, “Until then, it’s Diana signing off.”
