Nazriya Nazim, one of Malayalam cinema’s most beloved stars, often finds herself in the midst of social media discussions. The actress, married to acclaimed actor Fahadh Faasil, is known for her bubbly personality both on and off-screen. However, her recent behavior in a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from her upcoming film Sooshamadharshini has sparked a heated debate online.
In the video, Nazriya is seen joking around with co-stars Basil Joseph and others. While some fans found her demeanor endearing, others criticized her, claiming she is deliberately trying to appear overly cute. Comments on social media ranged from playful banter to outright criticism:
•“She used to be so naturally charming, but now it’s like she’s forcing her cuteness.”
•“Why can’t she act her age? This is so cringeworthy.”
•“Someone save Fahadh! Watching Nazriya grow up would be enough to die in peace.”
At the same time, many fans jumped to her defense, saying her lighthearted and carefree attitude is simply part of who she is:
•“Nazriya has always been bubbly and cute. She’s not overacting; this is just her personality.”
•“She’s living life freely and being her authentic self. That’s rare and admirable.”
Nazriya’s Journey So Far
Nazriya, who took a break from acting after her marriage at the age of 19, made a strong comeback with select projects. However, she has maintained a relaxed approach to her career, choosing scripts that resonate with her.
Her upcoming film, Sooshamadharshini, directed by MC Jithin and starring Basil Joseph, marks her return to Malayalam cinema after a four-year gap. While her fans are eagerly anticipating the movie, some of her on-screen antics in promotional content have divided opinions.
A Star Staying True to Herself
Supporters of Nazriya argue that her innocence and lightheartedness are part of her charm. They point out that society often expects women to “grow up” and conform to certain standards of maturity, but Nazriya’s refusal to let go of her playful spirit is what makes her unique.
Regardless of the criticism, one thing is clear: Nazriya remains unapologetically herself. Whether audiences love or critique her approach, her fans are confident that her upcoming film will remind everyone why she’s one of Malayalam cinema’s most cherished stars.
