When Nayanthara politely refused an award from Allu Arjun
Awards nights are usually full of excitement, glamour and celebration. But sometimes, unexpected moments become the most memorable. One such moment happened in 2016, when the famous actress Nayanthara surprised everyone by politely refusing to accept her award from the popular actor Allu Arjun.
At that event, Nayanthara had won the Best Actress award for her role in the movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. When Allu Arjun came forward to give her the trophy, she made a gentle but surprising request. She said she wanted to receive the award from the film’s director, Vignesh Shivan, instead. Vignesh Shivan was not only the director but also her boyfriend at that time.

Allu Arjun kindly stepped aside, and Nayanthara went to receive the award from Vignesh Shivan. This moment caught the audience off guard. Some fans praised her for wanting to share this special moment with the person who had directed her, while others felt she had been a bit disrespectful to Allu Arjun.
The movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan also created some tension between Nayanthara and the producer, Dhanush. There were reports that the film went over budget, which made Dhanush unhappy. This caused some distance between Nayanthara and Dhanush in the following years.
Years later, this old tension came back into the news because of a legal issue involving a scene from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan used in Nayanthara’s Netflix documentary. This shows how sometimes, even small incidents in the film industry can have long-lasting effects.
