Her post read "Confession : i was not aware of the mega star power of the "Lady Superstar", Nayanthara, till i watched the promos of "Beyond the Fairytale" on @netflix_in . I tried bravely to watch for 45 minutes, hoping SOMETHING would wake me up from the tedium of wading through dull clips of talking heads going on about Nayanthara ( born Diana Kurien ) and her incredible life. She is charmjng, articulate, poised ...and blah! But ...what the hell... aftet this, many more stars will go for monetising their shaadi footage . Assuming she got paid for it.

Shobhaa De is also a columnist known to be outspoken in her writing. She has also been a model and scriptwriter.
