Beyond the Fairytale: Inside the Love Story of Nayanthara and Vignesh

The recently released documentary Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale, centers on Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan, who first met on the set of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in 2015 and tied the knot in June 2022.

The actress, who made her Hindi cinema debut with Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan, recounts that, while waiting for her shot in the cleared out roads of Pondicherry, during the shooting of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, she noticed Vignesh directing Vijay Sethupathi, and found the former cute.

Vignesh shared that after the shoot, Nayanthara mentioned missing being on set, to which he responded that he felt the same. 

He admitted that while it’s natural for someone to admire a good-looking person, he never viewed Nayanthara in that manner, highlighting a deep respect and understanding in their relationship.

The couple got married on June 9, 2022, at an intimate ceremony in Mahabalipuram. Later that year, they announced the birth of their twins Uyir and Ulagam, through surrogacy.

The documentary provides an insight into their lives, featuring anecdotes from friends and colleagues like Taapsee Pannu, Rana Daggubatti, and Nagarjuna Akkineni.
