Actor Nayanthara and filmmaker Vignesh Shivan are one of the most adored couples in the South Indian film industry. Their love story, which began on the sets of the 2015 film 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan', is nothing short of a fairy tale. In a recent conversation with HELLO! India, the couple opened up about their journey from co-stars to life partners, revealing that actor Dhanush played a crucial role in bringing them together.
Vignesh Shivan credits Dhanush for their union, revealing, "Dhanush sir made me narrate the story of 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan' to Nayan (Nayanthara). She liked it. Once she came on board, I was able to cast actor Vijay Sethupathi, who was initially not keen to do this film. He was not convinced about the script. But he agreed after Nayan said yes. The movie paved the way for me to spend a lot of time around her. We got involved within a year."
Nayanthara added that initially, they were both testing the waters to see if a relationship could develop and if they were compatible beyond their professional lives. She described their journey as "very organic," saying, "we just went with the flow. After three months, we both knew that this was it."
The couple confirmed their engagement in 2021 and tied the knot on June 9, 2022, in an intimate wedding ceremony in Mahabalipuram, near Chennai. Their wedding was attended by several celebrities, including Rajinikanth, Shah Rukh Khan, Ajith, and Vijay Sethupathi. In October 2022, Nayanthara and Vignesh welcomed twin sons via surrogacy, adding to their joy and happiness.

Recently, there were rumours of trouble in paradise for the couple. However, an insider clarified to Hindustan Times in March 2024 that all is well between Nayanthara and Vignesh. The insider stated, "Contrary to the reports, the couple is not going through a tough time. Instead, they are going strong... it’s true that Vignesh was removed from her follower list, and the reason behind it is very convoluted... some believe that there was a technical glitch due to which he was removed from her follower list. She followed him back as soon as she got to know about the growing buzz and connotation around it."
