Nayanthara responds to reports of divorce from her husband Vignesh Shivan
Synopsis Nayanthara subtly dismisses split rumours with a playful Instagram post featuring Vignesh Shivan, countering online speculation fueled by a viral screenshot and past unfollowing incident. The couple, who met in 2015 and married in 2022, recently celebrated 11 years together, often sharing glimpses of their family life with their twin sons, reinforcing their united front against baseless gossip. Nayanthara and her husband Vignesh Shivan For the second time in months, speculation swirled around actress Nayanthara and filmmaker Vignesh Shivan's marriage, with romours buzzing about an alleged split. But the actress has once again made it clear—without uttering a word—that all is well between her and her husband. This time, her subtle yet strong message came through a lighthearted Instagram story, directly addressing the swirling rumours. Recently, social media was flooded with reports hinting at trouble in paradise for the couple. A screenshot, claiming to be from Nayanthara's Instagram, appeared online with emotional phrases such as 'men don't grow up' and 'marrying a fool is wrong.' Many believed this hinted at a possible rift between the actress and her husband. The post quickly went viral, fuelling speculation that the couple might be heading for a breakup. Adding fuel to the fire, this wasn't the first time their relationship had come under public scrutiny. Back in March 2024, fans noticed that Nayanthara had briefly unfollowed Vignesh on Instagram and shared a cryptic message, prompting similar rumours. However, that gossip was quickly put to rest when the couple shared a warm family photo from their vacation, featuring their twin sons, which portrayed a happy and united front. Now, with rumours resurfacing, Nayanthara decided to respond once again—but on her own terms. She posted a cheerful photo where she's seen playfully sitting on Vignesh's back as they lay on the grass, both looking completely at ease and laughing. The accompanying caption cheekily dismissed the rumours, pointing to how they feel when they come across baseless gossip about their relationship. The couple's journey together has been long and deeply rooted in both personal and professional collaboration. Nayanthara and Vignesh first met in 2015 on the sets of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan , a film directed by Vignesh and starring Nayanthara. Their bond grew stronger over time, and after several years of dating and living together, they got married in June 2022 in a traditional ceremony. The wedding came after reports suggested they had already registered their marriage quietly back in 2016. In October 2022, the couple welcomed twin sons via surrogacy, stepping into a new chapter of parenthood. Since then, they have often shared glimpses of their family life, celebrating birthdays, festivals, and anniversaries with heartfelt posts. Just recently, they marked 11 years of togetherness. Vignesh shared a nostalgic video from one of their family holidays, showing him riding a bicycle with Nayanthara and their sons enjoying the sidecar. Meanwhile, Nayanthara posted a loving message on social media, expressing her gratitude for their journey from two to four.

Last Updated: On the work front, Nayanthara and Chiranjeevi have reportedly joined forces for their next venture, currently titled Mega157. Putting an end to recent speculations about trouble in her marriage, Nayanthara shared a cute picture with husband Vignesh Shivan. The actress posted photo featuring the couple sitting and staring things with a surprise gesture, sending a clear message that all is well in their paradise. Taking to her Instagram stories, Nayanthara shared a photo in which she is sitting on Vignesh Shivan's back and staring. 'Our reaction when we see loopy news about us!". Recently, reports surfaced that the couple is separating. However, it is not first time such news have circulated. Earlier, also it was reported. Amid this, the controversy surrounding Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale, a Netflix documentary chronicling the life of actress Nayanthara, continues to escalate. Following an earlier legal dispute involving actor-producer Dhanush, the makers are now facing a fresh copyright challenge from the rights holders of the 2005 Tamil blockbuster Chandramukhi. According to a report by LiveLaw, the Madras High Court has issued notices to Tarc Studio LLP and Netflix Entertainment Services India LLP, following a plea filed by AP International. The company, which holds the audio and video rights to Chandramukhi (excluding some international territories), has alleged that footage from the film was used in the documentary without permission or license. Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale premiered on Netflix in November 2024. The documentary explores the personal and professional journey of the actor, including her marriage to filmmaker Vignesh Shivan and their life as parents to twin boys. Earlier, Dhanush, who produced Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015), directed by Vignesh, had filed a Rs 10 crore lawsuit, accusing the team of using footage from the film without his approval. Despite being asked to remove the clips, the footage was reportedly retained, leading to the legal action. On the work front, Nayanthara and Chiranjeevi have reportedly joined forces for their next venture, currently titled Mega157. The shoot has also started in Mussoorie, as mentioned by 123 Telugu. The actress previously shared the screen space with Chiranjeevi in significant projects like Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019) and Godfather (2022). Mega157 marks their third collaboration.
