Actress and dance exponent Navya Nair, who has delivered brilliant performances in several critically acclaimed Tamil and Malayalam films, has now shared her happiness on meeting one of India's cricketing greats, Sourav Ganguly, in London.
Taking to her Instagram timeline, Navya Nair, who is in London on vacation, shared a picture of herself with Sourav Ganguly and wrote, "Still feels surreal! Met the one and only Saurav Ganguly during my London vacation. From being a schoolgirl cheering for Dada on TV to sharing a moment in person — some memories stay etched forever...Legend @souravganguly."
The actress, who has been an integral part of some exceptional films like Nandanam in Malayalam and Azhagiya Theeye and Chidambarathil Oru Appasamy in Tamil, announced in 2022 that she had also turned a dance teacher.
Taking to Instagram then, the actress, who is known to be an exponent of classical dance, had announced, "Started my new classes on this auspicious day to selected students for Maathangi. A proper inauguration will be done at a later stage, where a lot more students can enroll. But I am cutting down on numbers as of now, just to have more focus. May Lord Ganesha and Nataraja bless all of us and these children for a bright future.
"For me, this moment is so important, as my guru Manu Master asked me to start teaching, a new phase of my life as a teacher (begins) ( I don't call myself guru, am not there yet ).
"I wish and pray that I can transfer whatever has been taught by my guru to all my students in the purest form I can. I wish I can do justice to this art form. Thanking almighty, gratitude."
The actress has also been delivering several classical dance performances much to the delight of fans.

What a lovely crossover of two icons from different fields! Navya Nair's classical dance performances are mesmerizing, and Dada will always be our cricket legend. Both make India proud in their own ways 🇮🇳
Ganguly was the captain who taught India to win abroad! Navya's excitement is so relatable - we've all grown up watching Dada's iconic shirt-waving moment at Lords. Two legends meeting in London â¤ï¸
While I'm happy for Navya, I wish she would focus more on acting. She was brilliant in Nandanam but has been inactive in films for too long. Our industry needs talented actresses like her!
Dada looks as dashing as ever! Remember how he changed Indian cricket forever with his aggressive captaincy. Navya's humility in calling herself a dance teacher rather than guru shows her true character. Respect!
As a Malayali, I'm so proud of Navya Nair! From acting to classical dance, she excels in everything. And meeting Ganguly is the cherry on top 😊 Both represent the best of Indian talent on global stage.
Random celebrity meetings abroad always make me smile. Shows how connected we Indians are no matter where we go. Dada remains the Prince of Kolkata and Navya is the queen of classical expressions!
