Without mentioning the qualifications to criticise her, Nayantara said on Wednesday that no one was “eligible to take a dig at her” over her alleged affair with choreographer-filmmaker Prabhu Deva.

The actress was responding to remarks made by Prabhu Deva’s wife Ramlath that Nayantara’s relationship with her husband has affected her a lot.

Talking to a vernacular daily, Ramlath said her agony against Nayantara was so much so that she would hit her when she happened to see her in person. “I once talked to her over phone and requested to stay away from my husband. But she didn’t pay heed to my plea,” Ramlath said.

Reacting to this, Nayantara, who is currently in Kerala with her parents, said, “It’s my life. And I have every right to decide on it. I came to know about the comments made against me by Prabhu Deva’s wife. No one has the right or eligibility to criticise me,” she said.

Stating that her family members know about her very well, the actress said they support her a lot in all her decision. “Why should I bother about others?” she said.
