Nagarjuna's On-Screen Wife in Kuberaa Sets Internet On Fire

She barely had a few minutes of screen time, but that was enough. In Kubera, while audiences were focused on the intense performances of Akkineni Nagarjuna, Dhanush, and Rashmika Mandanna, one brief appearance quietly left a mark. Sunayana, who played Nagarjuna’s wife, is now the talk of the internet. Her character might’ve been small, but her presence lingered, and now, her recent photos have exploded across social media.

The surprise? Many didn’t recognize her at all. Sunayana, who entered Telugu cinema with Something Special back in 2005 and gained praise for 10th Class, has mostly worked in Tamil films over the years. She returned to Telugu screens with Rajaraja Chora and now Kubera, showing once again that she doesn’t need lengthy roles to make an impression. With her latest photos, fans are doing double-takes, calling her transformation striking and unexpected.

What makes this wave of attention more interesting is how sudden it feels. One viral clip, a few stills from Kubera, and some recent glam shots, just like that, Sunayana is back in conversations. The contrast between her understated role in the film and her vibrant social media presence has caught many off guard. Comments like “She doesn’t even look like the same person” are now flooding posts.

While Kubera continues to spark debates, especially around its reception in Tamil vs. Telugu markets, it’s this unexpected spotlight on Sunayana that adds a new layer to the film’s impact. Sometimes, it’s not the lead roles or the dialogue that stay with people. Sometimes, all it takes is one scene, one face, and a quiet performance that turns loud long after the credits roll.
