On Sunday, August 7, Nayanthara stepped into Arya Samaj Temple in Chennai much to the surprise of those who have been keeping track of her personal life. It’s a known fact that she’s going to marry her beau, choreographer-turned-director Prabhu Deva in near future and speculation was rife that Nayanthara ‘might’ convert to Hinduism. Now, she has indeed converted to Hinduism. She was born in a Christian Family and her original name is Diana Mariam Kurian but later assumed a screen name – Nayanthara. She has, reportedly, gone through *Shuddhi Karma*, a procedure involving a Vedic purification and a Homan where Nayan chanted the hymns from Veda and Gayathri mantra under the guidance of the priest. After this ceremony, a certificate of conversion to Hinduism was given to her. She told a leading Chennai based website that conversion to Hinduism was a personal decision. However, neither Prabhu Deva nor Nayanthara have confirmed when exactly they are going to marry. Recently, Nayanthara broke down on the last day of Sri Ramarajyam’s shooting and industry sources say that it might be her last film since she was to take a break from movies completely.
