Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan worked together in a professional capacity for the first time in the 2015 film, Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. It was then that the two fell in love with each other, and eventually got married in 2022. Now, they are parents to Uyir and Ulag, who were born in 2022. With Netflix set to release Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, a documentary about the life of the actor, the streamer released a snippet where she talks about the first time she felt a spark with Vignesh Shivan.

“We were filming on the roads of Pondicherry, and I was waiting for my shot. I saw Wikki talking about a scene with Vijay Sethupathi sir. For some strange reason, I looked at him differently that day,” said Nayanthara, adding, “The first thing I thought was that he is a cute guy.”

She went on to talk about noticing the way he was explaining things to the cast and crew, and functioning as a filmmaker. Vignesh Shivan chimed in to say, “After finishing the shoot, she sent a text saying ‘I miss being on sets’. I said, ‘Same here ma’am.’” The candid Vignesh also added that he would be lying if he is not a person who would not check out a good-looking girl and compliment her in his mind. “But I didn’t see Nayan ma’am that way,” asserted the Love Insurance Kompany filmmaker.
