Nayanthara Reveals How She Fell In Love With Vignesh Shivan

Nayanthara, the Lady Superstar of Indian cinema, shared the sweet story of how she fell in love with her husband, filmmaker Vignesh Shivan, in her upcoming documentary Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale, releasing on her birthday, November 18.

Nayanthara’s Love Story

In a clip from the documentary, Nayanthara recalls a moment while filming in Pondicherry. She was sitting on the road, waiting for her shot, when she saw Vignesh working with actor Vijay Sethupathi. "For some strange reason, I looked at him differently. I thought he was cute, and the way he explained things and functioned as a director caught my attention," she revealed.

Vignesh’s Perspective

Vignesh, on his part, described how their connection grew. After a shoot, Nayanthara mentioned missing the set, to which Vignesh responded similarly. He admitted, "Any guy will compliment a good-looking girl in his mind, but I never saw Nayan Ma’am in that way initially."

The couple’s relationship took a turn when Nayanthara took the first step, and they began to see each other in a different light.

Their Wedding

Nayanthara and Vignesh tied the knot on June 9, 2022, in a star-studded ceremony in Mahabalipuram, attended by celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Rajinikanth, AR Rahman, and more.
