Stick to the middle path, salvation is yours. Kollywood’s hotbabe Namitha seems to be adhering to this Gautama Buddha recipe for tasting success.
Well, Nami is nothing if not moderate, these days. Her fee is moderate although she is one of the most sought after in Tamil cinema. All that the screen scorcher charges is a moderate Rs 15 lakh like her mentor Sathiaraj.
And if you want item numbers, you shell out just Rs 5 lakh. Now, if this is not moderation, I do not know what is!
Besides, Nami baby seems to be of the view that it is better to do more item numbers than full-fledged films. That way you end up getting more films, feels Tamil cinema’s glam gal. Therefore, the moment a producer or director approaches with an item number offer, the beautiful belle gives her nod in no time.
And, before you forget, Nams is nothing if not shrewd. She is aware that nothing is permanent in the tinsel town.
So she has done the wise thing by drafting her dad and brother for business. And since she belongs to Surat, known as the diamond city, what better business than diamonds?
So papa dear and kid brother are minding her diamond business these days, says the buzz.
The Gorgeous Gujarati is also building a palatial house in Surat, adds the grapevine. Retirement plans? May be. But right now, it is Kollywood all the way. And there she is sailing high thanks to her moderation mantra.
You sure know how to stay afloat in the treacherous waters of films, Namitha the Shrewd! Enjoy yourself!
