Actors often get into controversies for one reason or the other reason. But this time, an actress has been in trouble due to a weird thing. Actually, news is coming out about Malayalam actress Navya Nair that she reached Melbourne airport with a garland of flowers(gajra) in her handbag. By doing this, she has violated Australia’s strict biosecurity law and has been fined about Rs 1.14 lakh.

According to the information, Navya Nair had gone to Australia to participate in the Onam celebration organized by the Victoria Malayali Association. There, the officials stopped her at the airport. Recalling this incident in a program, the South actress said that her father had bought a gajra for her before the journey. He had divided it into two parts. One to wear during the Kochi-Singapore trip, and the other was kept in her handbag for later use.

Navya said, ‘What I did was against the law. It was a mistake that I made unknowingly. However, not knowing is not an excuse. For carrying a 15 cm jasmine garland, the officials asked me to pay a fine of 1,980 Australian dollars (about Rs 1.14 lakh) within 28 days. A mistake is a mistake. However, it was not done intentionally.’

Let us tell you that Navya posted a photo on her social media and jokingly wrote in the caption, ‘Showing off just before paying the fine.’ She also shared her photo from the flight and wrote, ‘First time Thiruvonam in the sky! Although I miss Nadu, carrying the spirit of Onam with me is a different joy in itself. Work is calling – and that is another joy too. On Singapore Airlines… Melbourne, I am coming.’ Navya made her debut with Ishtam in 2001. Then she appeared in films like Mazhathullikkilukkam and Kunjikkoonan.
