Nithya Menen Opens Up About Relationship Choices and Societal Pressures

Renowned actress Nithya Menen, known for her impactful performances on the silver screen, has recently shed light on her personal life and the societal expectations surrounding it. Despite her on-screen success, the talented star has chosen to keep her romantic life private, opting to live life on her terms rather than succumb to societal pressures.

In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Nithya revealed her family’s supportive stance, emphasizing that there’s no pressure from them for her to get married. “I’m beyond that now, and I don’t think anyone can tell me what I should do. My parents have given me the gift of freedom, and I cannot live without it. They understand that,” she expressed, highlighting the importance of independence in her life choices.

While her family is open to her dating someone, they respect her decisions and do not impose the idea of marriage on her. Recounting the past, Nithya shared, “There was a pressure to get married when my grandmother was alive. She didn’t care about my achievements as an actor. She used to say, ‘Why can’t you get married?’ But now, nobody bothers me because of who I am.”

Addressing the societal expectations faced by women, especially when they reach a certain age, Nithya acknowledged the burden placed on women as they navigate through the expectations and stereotypes of society. “There are so many pressures when you’re 30. Many societal norms need to be adhered to, and deviating from these norms often results in unnecessary criticism,” she expressed.

Reflecting on the restrictive societal norms, she added, “Our society is filled with rules that need to be followed, and those who choose a different path often face unwarranted criticism. It’s crucial for individuals to make choices that align with their values and beliefs rather than succumbing to societal pressures.” Nithya’s empowering stance serves as a reminder for individuals to prioritize personal happiness and well-being above societal expectations, paving the way for a more inclusive and accepting society.
