The most jaw-dropping report of the event revealed that Nayanthara had gifted her husband “a sprawling bungalow worth 20 crore rupees (US$2.5 million) which has been registered under his name”, per GQ India.

In addition, the 37-year-old actress also gave “30 pieces of sovereign gold jewellery” to her sister-in-law Aishwarya, among other OTT gifts to her close relatives, reports the same publication.

This should not come as a surprise, however, as Nayanthara is the highest-paid actress in South Indian cinema and often listed as one of India’s top-paid actresses.

During her almost two-decade career, the actress has amassed a reported net worth of US$22 million (165 crore rupees), according to multiple reports. And she doesn’t shy away from splurging it on the most extravagant items, too.

Let’s take a look at Nayanthara’s most OTT spending and how she built her amazing wealth.
