With Lakshmi becoming a super-hit, Nayantara has not only become popular but also a lucky mascot for Telugu producers who are queuing up outside her door. ‘No questions about the rates, just get her on board’ seems to be their mantra. Nayan however, is cautious and has not grabbed offers with both hands. She is at present working on three films and has said no to any new projects till these are completed.

She has also vehemently declined to appear in ad films. There is also a tender side to the astute woman. She donates a considerable portion of her earnings for charitable causes and does so very discreetly.
