Nayanthara, who was, till recently, fighting a battle with Prabhu Deva's former wife Ramalatha (who charged the actress of snatching away her husband), said that she very well understands the pain of being separated from one’s husband.

In an interview, Nayanthara, who played the role of Seetha Devi in the recently released Sri Rama Rajyam, said, "I could relate so much with Sita who was going through the pain of being separated from her husband."

Upon being asked about her experience with Balakrishna, she said, "I had worked with him earlier in Simha. He is the main reason for me to be a part of Sri Rama Rajyam. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and having the confidence that only I could do this role to perfection. And he is so convincing as Lord Rama in the film, that I cannot imagine any other actor there.'

About the director Bapu, she added, "He is like a father figure to me. I am so lucky to have worked with him. He is a genius, a living legend who made each and every frame of Sri Rama Rajyam look like a painting."
