South's 'lady superstar' Nayanthara has been making waves after her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan. However, she stunned the nation as she turned into an entrepreneur with her very own skincare line, 9 Skin and the announcement did not go as expected. While the announcement initially got her fans all excited, they were left disappointed when the prices were unveiled.
The actress has been facing backlash as she dropped details about the products in her skincare line on her social media while coining the tagline "Empowering Self Love" for the brand.

However, the development did not go well with everyone and they slammed her for the prices and stated that the products were not affordable for an average middle-class individual. Some even criticised her for promoting the skincare brand with pictures and videos of herself wearing heavy makeup.
"A skin care brand promoting self love… has a model in complete makeup… it promotes the model more than the product.." a user commented, while another asked, "Why don't you guys promote the product without makeup to make it more authentic?"
Furthermore, netizens tagged the products as being only for the "affluent". While one user mentioned, "It should be like everyone buys it...but I think it's only for the affluent." Another said, "Price range very high....not affordable for everyone one".
Currently, only five products are up for sale, and while a nourishing oil is priced at Rs 999, the glow serum and anti-ageing serums cost between Rs 1000 to Rs 1,500. A 50 gm day cream costs Rs 1,799 and night cream of the same quantity is for Rs 1,899. ALSO READ | Nayanthara Before And After: Actress' Old Video As TV Anchor Goes Viral!
