Nayanthara, the woman of the moment of Tamil cinema, celebrated her 31st birthday on Wednesday. To mark this, she visited Vatican city a few days ago and got the blessings of Pope.

The actress, who is currently holidaying, is visiting Naples, Milan and Venice too. “It is my long time dream to meet Pope at least once. I am happy that it finally came true days ahead of my 31st birthday,” she says.

Nayanthara is having a great year with three back to back hits— ‘Thani Oruvan’, ‘Maya’ and ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’. Her upcoming releases are ‘Idhu Namma Aalu’, ‘Thirunaal’ and ‘Kashmora’ in Tamil, besides a Malayalam movie.

On Wednesday, her fans, friends, colleagues and well-wishers greeted Nayanthara and wished her more success in the days to come. “My sincere thanks to all those who greeted me on my special day,” she says.
