'My priorities have changed' says Nayanthara

Be it for her performances , her oomph quotient, or her personal life, Nayanthara has always made headlines.

But the only thing that Nayanthara, or Nayan as she's fondly called, is willing to talk about these days is her Telugu film, Sri Rama Rajyam, in which she plays Sita.

"The film talks about Sita's abduction and her reunion with Rama. It narrates the story of their final departure from earth after their karma is over. It's a mythological film and since I've read the Ramayana, I was excited to be part of the film," says the actress.

Ask her if she actually gave up eating non-vegetarian food for the film and she replies, "It is normal practice in the film industry for those who shoot for mythological films to maintain discipline. I was told actresses who do 'Amman' films don't eat non-veg and visit temples regularly . It's a healthy habit and there was no reason why I shouldn't follow them."

Shooting on the last day for the film was an emotional moment for Nayan. "I had grown completely attached to the unit. I can't describe in words the amount of love they showered on me. I have immense respect for Bapu sir. He's considered a living legend and I was initially unsure if I could live up to his expectations. But I'm glad he liked my work. I just couldn't control my emotions and tears on the last day," she says.

It's being reported that Sri Rama Rajyam is Nayan's last film and that she's quitting the film industry post this. She says, "I'd rather say I haven't signed on any new film. I'm going through a different phase in my life and I'm very happy with it. My priorities have changed now and I'm doing things that I've always wanted to."

With Prabhu Deva's divorce finally through, there's widespread speculation of their marriage . However, Nayan refuses to talk about him. She says, "I understand that a public figure is always under the glare of the media. But, I have my own life and I'd like to have my personal space and privacy. If there are any incidents in my life, I'd willingly tell my audience."
