Amid social media flak, Navya Nair sells worn sarees online to raise funds for a philanthropic act
Mollywood actor-dancer Navya Nair grabbed attention by offering her once-worn sarees for sale through an Instagram page last week. It sparked both admiration and controversy. But recent reports state that Navya used the earnings from this sale to do some charity work.
Taking to her social media platform, Navya Nair announced the launch of "Pre Loved By Navya Nair" on Instagram, where she showcased her collection of premium sarees. These sarees, some never worn and others barely worn, were made available to her fans at reasonable prices. The collection boasted a variety of styles, including linen sarees, Kancheepuram sarees, and Banarasi sarees.

However, the announcement stirred a whirlwind of opinions on social media, with Nair facing criticism for purportedly capitalizing on her wardrobe. While some accused her of greed, others defended her actions, citing similar practices by celebrities across different industries. Yet, amidst the controversy, Navya Nair demonstrated her humane kindness.
Contrary to assumptions, she disclosed that the proceeds from the saree sales were not for personal gain. Instead, she directed the funds towards a charitable trust in Pathanapuram, Kerala. Visiting the institution, she generously contributed essential items such as clothing, sweets, and other necessities, enriching the lives of those within the community. In a further demonstration of her philanthropy, Navya Nair donated Rs 1 lakh to a Special School. She shared the news and reports regarding the same through her Instagram account.
The actress was last seen in the 2023 film ‘Janaki Jaane’ directed by Aneesh Upasana. It featured Saiju Kurup and Anarkali Marikar among others.
