Nayanthara was unable to attend the Jawan news conference in person, so she sent a video message in her stead. She stated her wish to appear in front of the media. She thanked everyone for their love and support, saying it meant the world to her. She also congratulated and appreciated Shah Rukh Khan.
She said, “Even though I am not there I want to send a big hug to my friends from the media and fans. Actually truly wish I could be there with you all surrounded by incredible people who supported me throughout my journey. But today is also a special occasion for my family so I wanted to spend with them. I have read all your messages and I have to say it is almost overwhelming to receive so much love for Jawan. Your support means the whole world to me and I am extremely grateful for it. I am thankful to my entire co-stars and team for giving me this opportunity.”
On working with SRK she added, “To share the screen with him and witness his exceptional talent and lively energy in person was truly fabulous.”
