Nayanthara-Vignesh Shivan Anniversary: From Lights, Camera, Romance To I Do - Look At Couple's Reel-To-Real Love Story

Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan are celebrating three years of love and togetherness today (June 9). Do you know how the love story from reel to real happened? It all began on the sets of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in 2015. Nayanthara, the film’s lead actress, met director Vignesh Shivan during the shoot, and sparks flew early on.

In a Netflix video, Nayanthara fondly recalled a moment in Pondicherry when she watched Vignesh explain a scene to Vijay Sethupathi. “For some strange reason, I looked at him differently that day. The first thing I thought was that he’s a cute guy,” she shared. That spark marked the beginning of a deep and beautiful connection.

As they continued working together, their professional bond blossomed into a personal one. Though their growing closeness was evident to a few, the couple chose to keep their romance under wraps. For years, Nayanthara and Vignesh maintained a low-profile relationship, rarely making public appearances as a couple. Their love story unfolded mostly behind the scenes, with fans getting occasional glimpses through subtle social media posts and interviews.

One such glimpse came when Vignesh shared that after shooting wrapped, Nayanthara texted him saying, “I miss being on sets.” He responded with warmth, a moment that hinted at the emotional connection building between them.

After nearly seven years of togetherness, the couple tied the knot on June 9, 2022, in a grand ceremony in Mahabalipuram. It was a star-studded affair attended by close friends and film industry giants like Shah Rukh Khan and Rajinikanth. Just ahead of the wedding, Vignesh shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the journey they had shared and dedicating it all to the “love of his life.”

A few months later, in September 2022, Nayanthara and Vignesh embraced parenthood. They welcomed twin boys, Uyir and Ulag, via surrogacy. While the news was met with both joy and public curiosity, the couple proudly celebrated their growing family. On the twins' first birthday in 2023, they posted adorable pictures and a loving message: “Appa and amma love you two beyond what words could explain!”

Today, Nayanthara and Vignesh continue to give fans glimpses of their joyful life as a family of four. Their love story, rooted in mutual respect, admiration, and a shared journey, stands as one of Kollywood’s most heartwarming tales.

Here’s wishing the power couple many more years of love, laughter, and togetherness.
