Nayanthara reveals how she fell in love with Vignesh Shivan

Superstar Nayanthara, who made her Hindi cinema debut with the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer box-office juggernaut ‘Jawan’, has recollected how she and her husband, Vignesh Shivan fell in love.

The actress made the revelation in her streaming documentary ‘Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale’. On Thursday, the makers shared a clip from the documentary which shows the couple walking down the memory lane as they spoke about falling for each other.

Nayanthara said in the video “One day, all of a sudden, we were just doing one scene on the roads of Pondicherry. Since the roads and all were cleared and all that, I was just sitting on the road waiting for my shot. And Vicky was doing a shot with, I think, Vijay Sethupathi sir. And, you know, he was just doing his shot and all that”.

She further mentioned, “I don’t know, for some strange reason, all of a sudden, I looked at him, and I looked at him differently. The first thing that I thought was, he’s a cute guy. So, I found him cute, and then, the way he was explaining things, and the way he was just functioning as a director, that’s when I noticed him”.

Vignesh on his part said, “After the shoot was over, she said, ‘You know what to say, I miss being on set’. I told her, ‘Yes, I also miss being on set’. I won’t lie, any guy will check out a good looking girl, and compliment her in his mind. But, I never saw Nayan ma’am in that way”.

The actress added, “This is the first time I’m actually taking a step forward. And we kind of understood that we can talk, you know, in a different way”.

Nayanthara and Vignesh tied the nuptial knot on June 9, 2022, in Mahabalipuram. Their wedding was attended by Shah Rukh Khan, Rajinikanth, AR Rahman, Suriya, Vijay Sethupathi, Atlee and several others from the film industry.

Dhanush Bets Big on Anand L. Rai’s Comeback!

Dhanush’s decision to back a director whose recent works have been far from successful is like a gambler placing a bet on a losing hand-but then again, sometimes even the most improbable bets pay off. Dhanush, who recently found success with Rayan, his directorial debut, has decided to extend his trust to Bollywood director Anand L. Rai, despite Rai’s streak of flops. Dhanush’s belief in Rai is particularly surprising given the recent failures, such as Raksha Bandhan and Zero. But Dhanush isn’t the type to abandon ship easily, especially when there’s unfinished business with a director who gave him a memorable debut in Raanjhanaa.

Though Rai’s track record in recent years has been rocky, it seems Dhanush has faith in the director’s potential for redemption. Despite Zero failing to make a mark and Rangrezz not hitting the high notes, Dhanush is sticking by the director. Their previous work together made an impression, and Dhanush is all about repaying debts in a world where loyalty often outweighs logic. The new collaboration is a romantic comedy titled Teri Ishq Mein, and while Rai’s recent missteps are still fresh in everyone’s mind, Dhanush seems to believe in the power of a second chance, both for the director and for himself.

The latest buzz reveals that Kriti Sanon will star opposite Dhanush in Teri Ishq Mein, with AR Rahman scoring the music. The film is set to be a pan-India release, with a parallel Telugu version, which could increase its reach. While the project is drawing attention, there’s a touch of skepticism surrounding Rai’s ability to deliver a hit. Yet, Dhanush isn’t deterred, and he continues to show faith in the director’s craft. Perhaps Dhanush sees something in Rai that others don’t-Aa director with the potential to hit it big once again.

In the world of cinema, where success can be as fleeting as a passing cloud, Dhanush’s loyalty to Anand L. Rai is a testament to the unpredictable nature of the industry. It’s like waiting for the perfect shot-you never know when it’s going to happen, but when it does, it’ll make all the misses worth it. Let’s just hope this movie doesn’t end up being a comedy… for the wrong reasons!
