An Emotional Lady Superstar
Nayanthara’s husband, director Vignesh, shared how their love story began. Nayanthara, too, spoke about critical phases of her life, saying she has often trusted people too quickly. She addressed past rumors, like the one claiming her last film would be Sri Rama Rajyam, and others that unfairly commented on her appearance. Recalling how these stories frightened her mother, Nayanthara was moved to tears. Nayanthara's mother also expressed her unwavering faith in her daughter.

Veiled Digs at Simbu and Prabhu Deva?
Before her marriage to Vignesh, Nayanthara was in relationships with Simbu and Prabhu Deva. Her romance with Simbu blossomed during Vallabha, as widely reported at the time. Later, she was romantically linked with the award-winning choreographer Prabhu Deva, and they were often seen together, sparking rumors about marriage. However, both relationships ended. During the shooting of Nenu Rowdy Ne, she met Vignesh, which led to love and, eventually, marriage. In the latest documentary trailer, Nayanthara’s comment about "trusting people too quickly" is widely believed by fans to hint at Simbu and Prabhu Deva. It remains to be seen if the full documentary will delve into these past relationships.
Nayanthara in Full Swing
Nayanthara’s film career is currently thriving. Last year, she entered the ₹1000 crore club with Jawan, starring alongside Shah Rukh Khan. The same year, she captivated audiences in the female-oriented film Annapoorani. Currently, she’s busy with five major projects, including Test, Mannangatti Since 1960, Thani Oruvan 2, and Mookuthi Amman 2 in Tamil, and Dear Students in Malayalam. All these projects are in production and are expected to release later this year and next. In 2022, she married director Vignesh in a family ceremony, and the couple now has two sons through surrogacy.

What Sparked the Dispute with Dhanush?
In 2015, Nayanthara starred in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, directed by her now-husband Vignesh Shivan, with Dhanush as the producer. The movie brought many fond memories to Nayanthara, including significant acclaim as an actress and the love of her life. She wanted to highlight this film in her documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale. For this, she sought Dhanush’s permission to use content related to the film. However, after two years of no response, Dhanush sent legal notices over the use of three seconds of footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the documentary’s promo. This enraged Nayanthara, prompting her to write an open letter criticizing Dhanush. She expressed heartbreak over his actions, urging him to show kindness not just in words but through actions.

Nayanthara is currently busy with the films 'Test', 'Dear Students', and 'Thani Oruvan 2'.
Originally from Kerala, Nayanthara started her acting career with the Malayalam film 'Manassinakkare' in 2003, which was a major success. Since then, she has never looked back.
She has been continuously successful in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada films, gaining a separate fan following in all languages.
This remarkable actress has also faced significant challenges in her life.
Initially, she was in a relationship with Tamil actor Simbu, but they parted ways after he publicly shared their personal photos.
She then had a relationship with actor and director Prabhu Deva during the making of the film 'Villu', which blossomed into love.
Their relationship came to the attention of Prabhu Deva’s wife, leading to a quick divorce request.
This incident left Nayanthara devastated, marking a deeply painful chapter in her life.
After her breakup with Prabhu Deva, Tamil director Vignesh Shivan entered her life. Since then, Nayanthara hasn’t had to look back, either in her career or personal life.
Currently, she is among the highest-paid actresses in the South Indian film industry, commanding remunerations between Rs. 10 crores to Rs. 12 crores per film.
