The actress always tops the headlines with surprising updates at regular intervals.

She is none other than Nayantara, this time she bounced back with something which really shocks everyone out there. Nayantara was born as a Christian by the name Diana Mariam Kurian which is known to all of us. But suddenly the actress has converted to Hinduism on Sunday (August 7) morning at Arya Samaj Temple in Chennai.

Nayan has flown from Kochi to Chennai on Sunday morning and headed straight to the Arya Samaj Temple at Waltax Road in Chennai at around 11am.  She has undergone Shuddhi Karma, a process involving a Vedic purification and a Homam where Nayan chanted the hymns from Veda and Gayathri mantra under the direction of the priest. After completing the traditional ceremony of conversion, she has been given the Certificate of Conversion to Hinduism and she immediately rushed back by evening flight to Kochi.

She is now officially Hindu and will be so forth called as Nayantara. The actress confesses that this conversion is the decision made by her. This can be treated as a daring and bold attempt made by Nayan as she has gone a step extra and done the ultimate thing for her love by changing her religion. Even Prabhu’s ex wife Ramlath had not changed her religion but only gone for a change of name as Latha for her kids passport in the gazette.

So, is this drastic step taken by the couple is for an immediate marriage?
