Famous actress Nayantara converted to Hinduism. She was originally a Christian and her original name was Diana Mariam Kurian. The conversion took place in an Arya Samaj temple in Chennai on August 7, 2011. She preferred to continue with her screen name Nayantara henceforth.

It is believed that she has converted to Hinduism to get married to the famous choreographer and actor, Prabhu Deva, who is a Hindu but the true reason is still unclear as she has maintained silence on this issue. Prabhu Deva has recently divorced her wife.

I think it is her own decision and she is wise enough to decide on her own. Some Christian organizations have reacted sharply to it, which is an immature reaction. Many Hindus also convert to Christianity. As long as the person agrees with the ideology of the particular religion, there is nothing bad in it.

So, we welcome and congratulate Nayantara for her decision to convert to Hinduism.
